I would choose the 1050 ti over the 750 ti. Better performance with less power for about the same price.

That CPU may bottleneck somewhat in modern games. Good news is you can easily change up to a Westmere family CPU with a simple BIOS update. Put a X5687 in my T3500 and saw a nice performance boost over the W3565 was running previously.

Have built a few gaming systems with T3500, including one for myself. If you need any pointers let me know.
