I'm going to buy a GTX 1050ti having already a pentium g3258, will the gtx 1050ti perform worst than a graphics card that not bottleneck or it would be the same? is worst to play only with the integrated graphics?

I personally would prefer playing on a 1050ti with the G3258 than the intel integrated graphics, but that is just preference. I would not say that the possible bottleneck would be drastic. It is beneficial to find this type of stuff out from an owner of both the 1050ti and the g3258. The below link leads to a reddit post that may be able to shed some light on the issue as many people who have similar hardware are discussing their findings. For the majority of people, the 1050ti works just fine.

There is always a bottleneck, also known as a limiting factor.
Some games are cpu limited, like sims, strategy and mmo.
Some tend to be graphics limited like fast action games.
Multiplayer may like many threads.

If a game performs to your expectations, where the limiting factor is will matter not.

I think the G3258, particularly with a modest overclock, and a GTX1050ti is a very reasonable combination.
Certainly a GTX1050ti is a nice improvement over integrated graphics.
