yup it will work fine. no worries. the motherboard will handle it easily.
do note that some 1050ti cards use an extra 6-pin power connection. be sure yur psu can handle that need if you get one of those cards. here is a list of all the 1050ti cards with power needs so you can compare and know what you're getting. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-3047729/nvidia-geforce-gtx-1000-series-megathread-faq-resources.html#17902604

that card is perhaps too much for that cpu i think, could bottleneck the gpu a bit but yes, should work well
now, what psu do you have there? does it have the required power connectors for that 1050 ti? some 1050ti have a extra 6 pin power connector, others will work with the power from the pci express x16 slot and doesn't require that 6 pin connector
you should have at least a 430w psu for that card and the cpu

all bottleneck means is the cpu will be the weak link in the system and you won't get the same performance you'd get out of a nice shiny new $1000 cpu.
but you already knew a better cpu would mean better performance so it's not really a big deal. it won't slow down the game, it just means that with a better system, the gpu would do more. too much is made over that term and causing a lot of second thoughts where they don't need to be.
you will be fine with a 500w psu for such a low powered system. you could get away with 350w as the system won't be pulling that much at load anyway.

the bottleneck can be sometimes small so you could get for example, 100fps on a game but you could get 130 fps with a faster cpu
being a old cpu, a cpu upgrade is not viable, you would need to change, mainboard, cpu and probably ram too so not a economic option
if the psu has 500w it shoul be fine, especially if you get a 1050 ti withouth the 6 pin power cable i mentioned previously
most 1050ti will ask for a 300 to 400 w psu so that was the biggest concern here and is covered
