Need help picking a psu and maybe gpu for my rig

This is what i have so far, its used parts I bought for $200. It was all put together too. 

 

 

Case-Rosewill CHALLENGER – Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

 

Motherboard-ASRock Z77 Extreme 4

 

CPU-Intel - Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor

 

Memory-Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory

 

Cpu Cooler-Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler


Storage-320GB & 500GB Hard Drive

 

it has 1 fan put in already but he gave me an extra if i need it but im not sure if i need new fans because these are the ones the case came with i think. I was going with an evga 1050ti for the graphics card. That will fit right? im not sure about the psu. Any suggestions? Thanks!

This case only has 3 fans, one each on the front, side and rear right? I myself tends to use all available fan slots, especially on cases that do not have a lot of them in the first place.

 

This CPU is good for at best a 1060 6gb and equivalent, so gtx 970, 980, R9 290, 390, around those lines.

 

As for PSU, where do you live? That will decide which sites and location to use

550w is already more than enough to hold upgrades like 1080ti with 8700.

Id recommend a second stick of identical ram as 8gb is enough, but two sticks will yield much better performance since it will be dual channel, Also a 1060 would be a good idea since a 1060 is way better than a 1050, but a 1070 is only a little bit better than a 1060, so it good price for performance. You can find some decent ones for only $350, and if you get a founders edition off nvidia maybe less, and it might run pretty cool since there are two case fans aimed right at the intake fan. just look around for the best deal and youll be fine though.finally maybe add an ssd for your OS and often accessed programs like steam/Chrome. Other than that, props to you for finding all that for $200 thats a pretty amazing start at that price.
