[Oshino Shinobu]

We can't identify the PSU just from other system specs. 

[hammyboy31]

Do you have pics? Model number? Company name? Power output?

[ProjectBox153]

You need at least a decent picture. There's nothing. 

[EunSoo]

yeah is it a prebuilt if so what is the product name? You can often just open it up and it'll have a physical sticker

You need to give us something to work with then. We can't tell what the PSU is from specs of other components. 

 

Really, we need some good pictures of the PSU in order to find out what it is

Must be high-end if it's equipped with a cloaking device. I only know of a few Super Flower models sporting that tech, and they're all illegal in Federation territory.

Is this PSU good enough to power a GTX 1050? or would I need an upgrade, also I just wonder if you could give a recommendation?

Seems like it's an older Thermaltake LitePower 500W PSU from what I can find. It seems to be long out of production. 

 

Not good, basically, though also not a no-name fire starter PSU. If you plan on upgrading the system, I would advise changing out the PSU as well.

You should upgrade it. 

 

A Corsair CX 550M (grey label unit, not green) would be a very good choice.

Wow.. That's about as low end as Thermaltake gets.

 

Only 276W on the +12V rail.  No PFC.

 

There are 300W PSUs on the market today that are leaps and bounds better than that thing.

 

How old is it?  Almost 10 years?

 

I wouldn't use it.
