I'm still new to the PC gaming scene and would like help on which GTX 1050ti I should get, and if my motherboard can support it. I'm on a budget for now especially for now. The 1050ti will be a temporary card until I save up to completely upgrade to a new PC. I've never owned a 2 fan card and don't know anything about overclocking. I want to make sure this is a safe bet of which one to get to get a good 1080p experience and smoother gaming. Also if you could let me know what to do before replacing my GPU and not to do. I would greatly appreciate feedback and help!

These are my specs:
MOBO: gigabyte ga-78lmt-usb3
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5 ghz
GPU: AMD R7 360 2gb MSI
RAM: 8gb ddr3
Case: ibuypower arc 647 gaming chassis
PSU: 400W (Don't know the brand)

My choices of cards were:

Just get the one with lowest price .Those cards never exceeds above 75c even under load . You can easily over clock either of those cards outta of box without any difficulty.Just increase the power target
and fan speed to max in MSI afterburner. Try benchmark software like unigine valley and increase core clock 25mhz each time and run it .if it produces any artifacts or crash ,reduce the clock speed. Do same for memory.apply it .No point in spending extra money for slightly better clock speeds
