In GeForce Experience you can open the on screen display, and in there there is an option for having an FPS counter, and you can choose what corner to put it in

unless the old board doesnt work properly, there's no reason to upgrade the mobo.

8 thread E3s are basically locked i7s of the same generation with different clocks, it definitely shouldnt bottleneck a 1050ti

used 750 or HD 7770, roughly. All will be a hell lot slower than 1050ti.

You can't upgrade a 1050 ti for $50, it's a $150 graphics card. Also, like what @Jurrunio said earlier, don't replace the motherboard either. Your best move is to save up some money to get a GTX 1060 6gb.

Yeah you will need to spend a lot more on your GPU to see much of a change. Even a 1060 is not going to be 50% better. Should be looking at a 1070 to really be worth bothering.

 

Also do you have the original E3-1270? There are two revisions of this CPU for socket 1155. V1 (based on i7-2xxx series) and V2 (based on i7-3xxx series), V2 is a little better and higher clocked. I have a E3-1230 v2 in my system and I don't have any problems in CPU bound titles. Your CPU has higher clocks so you will defiantly not have any problems with the CPU in most games.
