Unless you got a 1440p/4k screen that upgrade doesn't make sense.

If you do, setup looks alright. Make sure you pick a GPU that the cables of your PSU can support (I'm not sure your PSU comes with 2x 8-Pin, might be 1x 8-pin, 1x 6-pin, better check before and pick a model accordingly)

Might need more cooling for the case since your adding a lot more watts to cool.
The power supply comes with 2 X 6+2 power cables as most newer models have done away with 8 pin and 6 pin so they can be used for either.

I would probably get the GTX 1080 it would be a big upgrade from a 1050ti.

I wouldn't recommend running a high end GPU on a budget low end PSU. Some may disagree, but if it was my money there is no way in hell I would hook a $600-$700 GPU to a $30 PSU..... NO FREAKING WAY as in NEVER.

I recommend going with Seasonic Focus Plus, Corsair RMX or EVGA G2 or G3.

It is however your choice in the end.
