Build Help

Hi. I'm new here. Slightly tech savvy.

So I'm looking to upgread my pc

Current setup:

Mother Board: digilite dl-h61mxel

I5-2310 (LGA 1155)

4GB Ram

Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS (512mb)

 

I'm looking for a new graphics card and ram

 

My question is will my processor affect performance of a gtx 1050ti if I have to purchase one?

Also my motherboard supports upto 8GB ddr3

 

I really don't want to change my processor

I don't mind purchase a new motherboard for 16GB ddr3 support

 

I'm looking for gaming pc

Ultra settings 1080p

I don't mind using 720p as resolution for games but id like to have my game play high/ultra or medium at least at 30fps

I really don't mind 30fps.

 

Any suggestions? Maybe different cards. Right now I have my eyes on the 1050ti.

I really want to keep my processor and not change it.

 

Thanks in advance for any help

the i5 won't bottleneck the 1050ti. but try to get 8gb of ram, 4gb isn't really enough these days.

Would a 1060 work as well?

Also I have pcie 2.0 and not 3.0

Any bottlenecks there?

yes, no bottlenecks with pci-e 2.o, even pci-e 1.0 won't bottleneck.
