CPU -> i5-6400 is still pretty good for gaming
RAM -> 16 GB is enough
GPU -> Get something faster, but you might want to wait as new series might just be landing this month (according to rumors)

The 1050 is entry level for 1080p, meaning in demanding games it will struggle. So you'll need to turn settings down and live with lower framerate.
Since it sounds like that is no longer acceptable to you, then a videocard upgrade is the next step. Upgrade to a 1060 at the very least, the 6gb model if possible. You'll need to make sure your PSU has sufficient wattage AND the necessary pci-ex 6 or 8 pin connector.

I have see those PSUs, which usually come in a PC case of the same name.
You should upgrade your PSU first, before upgrading the GPU.
Then you could upgrade the GPU to a GTX 1060 ( 400W recommended PSU).
If you are planing upgrading the CPU in the near future then get GTX 1070/1070ti (500W recommended PSU).
