Solution
if you are on a budget i would say Pentium g4560 and h110 mobo if you can get the bios update then you can get your self a 1050ti and you are good to go
i think your cpu already bottle necking your current gpu so upgrading to a better gpu wont gain you much

GTX 1050 is more than sufficient to get "decent" FPS on Overwatch.

Your current CPU isn't going to have a problem with Overwatch, either. Note that, at 1080p gameplay, you're going to be more limited by your GPU, as it can hit 140+ FPS with a GTX 1080 on Ultra. With a GTX 1050/1050Ti, you'll actually be limited by the GPU. A better fit might be a GTX 1060 (https://www.techspot.com/review/1209-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1060/page2.html) or an AMD 480/580, as they have much closer performance to your current CPU.
Unfortunately, a G4560 isn't going to perform as well. The G4560 is basically a slower version of the i3-6100 (3.5GHz vs. 3.7GHz), both being 2C/4T HyperThreaded CPUs, & the i3-6100 was a little bit slower than the FX-4320 (even though it's technically a 2C/4T CPU as well). Not to mention their minimum FPS were well behind the FX chips.
If you're really looking for a CPU upgrade for your gaming -- which right now you don't really need -- then for Overwatch you'll want to either move to at least a Kaby Lake Core i5 system or an AMD Ryzen 5 system (https://www.techspot.com/review/1348-amd-ryzen-gaming-performance/, http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/75094-amd-ryzen-5-1600x-1500x-performance-review-14.html). Pentiums & Core i3 systems just won't cut it. But even then, you're going to need a high-refresh-rate monitor to actually see the difference.
