The CPU would really struggle to keep the GPU busy unless you were asking the GPU to do 4K or something.

Get something that's less powerful, like a GT 1030 or even an older card like a GTX 750 Ti.

What you could do is, if you can spend a bit more money, change your CPU to Q6600 or other core 2 quad cpu. They go for about $20-30 and there are plenty of them around.

i heard you need UEFI capable boards to run the 10xx series.

 

i have not tried to run my GTX 1050ti on anything older than a B75 board so i can't tell you if this is really true. 

 

then again, i have a GT 1030 running on a Q57 mainboard - wich should not have UEFI either. 

 

a 1030 would probably be a better match for your core 2 duo either way. 

 

i have a GTX 750 ti paired with a slightly overclocked core 2 quad Q6600 and i think more than a 750 ti does not make sense here because:

the Q6600 really struggles in more demanding games ... and if you just want to play "some" games - i'd say buy a graphics card that is cheaper than the 1050ti and get a socket 775 quad core CPU with the money you saved or put that cash in a piggy bank and start saving up for a new computer
