For a GTX 1050ti, there is really no point unless you are play esports games (CS:GO, Fortnite, Valorant) and you need 144 - 240 FPS.

Even then you’re better off going with a Ryzen 3 3300x since you have to get a new motherboard

Well you'll need a new board and a new set of ram as well..

Wait for zen 3 and check what it has to offer and decide, the 1050ti will hold you back though because well it's not the most capable card so you can also look at upgrading that, but I wouldn't get a locked Intel chip in all honesty and I wouldn't get a b or an h series boards for LGA 1200..

you got a pretty nice combo mainly for esports titles

a new cpu would require a new mobo and a new ram kit but that 1050 ti will most likely bottleneck a 10600.

personally, i would never get a locker intel chip because its not worth it for the long run and its just a couple more bucks for a 'k' version.

get a 10600k, a good z490 motherboard and 16gb of ram, somewhere between 320mhz cl16 and 4000mhz cl18

personally, i have a 10600k and i upgraded from an i5 3550. its a mad upgrade.

my 3550 was holding back my 2080 so the difference was big

for example: on wd2 on max settings i had 50 fps, on very high i had 50 fps, on medium i had 50 fps, of low i had 60 fps. and now after upgrading my trio i have 80-90 fps on ultra.

a cpu is a very important part in getting high frames but youll also need a stronger card to go with a 10600/10600k
