I have this old LGA775 PC which I had lying around for some time (with an E8400) and I wanted to upgrade the CPU to a quad core and put in a 1050ti or something to squeeze some life out of it.

I ran CPU Z and the specs were:

I am unsure about the Chipset, as it says P35/G33/G31. Which one exactly is it? Can I put a Core 2 Quad (like Q6600) in it? And what about a 1050ti?(It will be bottlenecked, i guess)

PS: It's all temporary, I am going to get a Ryzen 5 when it comes out, or a Kaby lake i5 later this year.

Thanks in advance

Those are slight variations of the same chipset with G31 having the least features and P35 the most. (Think H110, B150, H170 and Z170 in more modern chipsets, for example). The actual board model number will give a clue as to the chipset used as you can look that up.
All those will support a quad core which would give your system new life and should also be enough to keep that 1050Ti humming along in most operations. (Am assuming that you'll using 1080p). While the Q6600 is a great over clocker, if you are not looking to over clock, then consider something from the Q9xxx range instead. The Q6600 is a safe bet though.
