In my opinion, a 1050ti, as it is an older CPU, and anything over a 1050ti will be bottlenecked, however I am no expert, just giving you my advice. IF possible, and a big IF, wait till you can rebuild with a newer cpu and mobo, and than you will have access to newer GPU's. First, upgrade your Mobo to an AM4 mobo, as there are way more chips availible for you, and a great CPU is a R5 1600, as it is a 6C 12T Cpu which has excellent performance for newer games. After that, nearly all modern GPU's can be used, but for now, if you want to get a GPU now rather than upgrade your system, a 1050ti is the best pair.
