I  have an ATC-780A-UR11 that I got from a friend, if I replace the PSU can I install a gtx 1050 ti? Im not sure if the motherboard will give it enough power, Ive heard that motherboards on some prebuilts arent able to give the power that some graphics cards need through the pcie slot

6th gen processor means PCIe 3.0 which means 75 watts which means you're good

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

You don't. I would just get a 450 watt 80+ Bronze or above PSU from a reputable manufacturer if you're looking for a new one.

EVGA makes good power supplies, just stay away from the 450BT and 80+ White units.

I'm not too sure; it looks like an older power supply. Most newer models put out a wattage with 50 at the end. If you're fine with not getting an EVGA PSU, the Corsair CX450 is a good one.
