I don't know that much about motherboards or PC's in general so I was wondering if my motherboard is any good in case I wanted to buy a better graphics card such as GeForce 1050 ti. Here is the info:

Name: MS-7778 (JasmineR)

Chipset: AMD A75 FCH
Memory sockets: 4 x DDR3
Front side bus speeds: 4 lanes, 5 GT/s per lane
Processor socket: FM2
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI Express x16 (Gen2.0)
3 PCI Express x1 (Gen2.0)
1 half-length mini card

FM2 based systems are on the very low-end of the performance scale. While you can certainly use a GPU like a GTX 1050ti, the CPU/motherboard will not make optimal use of it. Just too little horsepower compared to more modern and capable AMD and Intel offerings.

What would you recommend as a good cheap motherboard that will be able to handle a card such as 1050 to it's optimal use?
