This is the opposite of your original comment. 

 

Never mind I though you said GPU. This is still wrong. Higher resolution will not effect your CPU in anyway.

 

If you run a 1050 at 4k I guarantee you the GPU will be the bottle neck

If you run an i5 with a 1080 Ti at 4K, the CPU won't be a problem, this is what I meant. So re read my posts

Its 700k more pixels than 1920x1080

I would love to get new hardware

Its the only way you are going to get 60FPS.

 

Core 2 Duo is going to struggle to maintain 30fps in most games from the last 5+ years.  I have an old workstation that uses the Xeon versions of the Core 2 Quad Q6700 CPUs (two of them at that) and on new games the CPU's hold back an R5 240 GPU (bought for $30 5 years ago).

so get core 2 quad and 1050ti and lower the res when gaming

Lowering resolution does not fix a CPU limitation.

 

1050 Ti can probably go up to 4k without changing frame rate on a Croe 2.

So it's a good idea

If you like gaming at 15-30FPS (or less) at any resolution from 640x480 to 3840x2160.

Just save and get a new system... your CPU is a major bottleneck. My phone is probably faster...
