I was thinking about upgrading my current cpu 7890k to a fx 8300. After that I would save up and buy the 1050ti, but I was wondering if it would be better to get the 1050ti now and wait later to get rid of the 7890k. My old gpu is a r7 360

That depends. If you're maxing out your current CPU then I would suggest a new CPU/mobo upgrade. If you're not maxing out your CPU then I would go for the video card upgrade first. Keep in mind that CPU/MOBO and video cards drop in price the longer you can wait :) Patience is a good thing for us techies to have when it comes to deals.
