This link is to a pc part picker build i just put together. It says it all works but I'm skeptical. I was reading something about people who got the Wwindows 10 feed upgrade from Windows 7 still have a legacy bios and for some reason that doesn't work with the new gpus. So, if anyone on here can see any potential problems please share! Thanks!

Sorry for the link not working. The build is as follows:
- Intel core i3 4160
- Asrock h97 anniversary ATX lga 1150
- Crucial ballistix sport 2x4gb ram
- WD caviar blue 1 tb 3.5" 7200 rpm
- Evga GeForce gtx 1050 ti ssc 4 gb gaming acx 3.0
- Cooler master n400 atx mid tower case
- Evga 500w 80+ bronze atx psu
- Asus drw-24b1st
As for my OS, I have a Windows 7 disc with its product key. On my current mobo i have the free upgrade Windows 10 but I'm not sure how to reinstall it on my next mobo. I heard about the legacy bios thing and I'm just not sure what it all means. Something messed up in my current h81m-hds mobo from asrock and I wouldn't recognize it. All I really care about is getting that gpu to work for as low cost as possible.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Koby_1 : "Gtx 1050 ti ssc compatibility"

So, I got a gtx 1050 ti ssc and put it into my current h81m-hds asrock mobo and it didn't even recognize it. So, I need a new mobo to fit with all my old hardware and the new 1050. I have a list i put into pc part picker and it says it's compatible but I'm unsure. Mainly because of operating system. I have a Windows 7 installation disc and product key and on my current mobo i have the free Windows 10 upgrade. Now one, I'm not sure how to reinstall Windows 10 on a new mobo and something about a legacy bios and not working with the new cards. I really don't know about that and would really like to know if there will be any compatibility issues not known by pc part picker. Essentially, I want to make sure gtx 1050 ti ssc work for as low of a cost as possible.

Build:
- Intel core i3 4160
- Asrock h97 anniversary ATX lga 1150 (new mobo)
- Crucial ballistix sport 2x4gb ram
- WD caviar blue 1 tb 3.5" 7200 rpm
- Evga GeForce gtx 1050 ti ssc 4 gb gaming acx 3.0
- Cooler master n400 atx mid tower case
- Evga 500w 80+ bronze atx psu
- Asus drw-24b1st optical drive
