"Modified to fit the GTX". I think he and I have very different definitions of "fit."

That is hilarious!
I'd probably break that thing off during shipping.

Wait, that's real? That's an... interesting approach to modding.
Part of me kinda loves it, though, in a redneck sort of way. Throw some duct tape in there somewhere and you've got yourself a rig!

Good question. I don't think the 1050 Ti is a really premium card, but I wouldn't expect a stock PSU to handle it well regardless. According to one listing I see, it needs at least a 300W power supply.
EDIT: If that's a mini-tower, it looks like the OEM supply is 275W. So... yeah, under heavy load it'll probably throttle.

That's a Dell 7010, the SFF (small form factor) model specifically. That means its stock PSU is only able to push 240W at max. The GTX 1050 Ti requires a 300W PSU at minimum. That's about like buying a Ferrari but only being able to drive it in first gear. Whoever "built" this computer had no idea what they were doing. Which is obvious enough by the case butchery.

Fun! I think this thing should have this guy on the side: (I really should track down some of The Red Green Show. Loved it.)

Oh that is priceless. I hadn't even thought of that. XD

Never underestimate the PSU.
