Not expecting major $$, like around $1000 a month will do...

You'd be lucky to make .0001$

Just don't.

don't mine bitcoin, defiantly not worth it.

 

You want to mine a alt coin for a bit of money. Here is a calculator. https://www.nicehash.com/profitability-calculator/#nvidia-gtx-1050-ti;USD;0.1;1;75;0;a5=300.59;a8=0.53;a14=15.78;a20=13.1;a21=1.05;a22=0.293;a23=0.108;a24=178.23;a25=0.4;a27=0.675;a28=1.5;a30=0.293;a32=0.64;a33=4

 

The estimate for your hardware is currently about 8usd a month. Profits have really gown down over the last while.

That's only if you don't count the cost of electricity. For most people, electricity isn't free and that would mean the profit would be a fraction of that.

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention that even that is only if one mines 24/7 the whole month. If one actually uses the machine for something else, like e.g. gaming every now and then, it'd be even less.
