The lack of a UEFI BIOS environment will prevent you from getting any display onto your screen in spite of your system booting up to OS's GUI with a GTX1050Ti populated in your PCie slot and powered up. Just for the sake of relevance, what is the make and model of the PSU and how old is it?

idk if it will work i assume it will bottleneck but i have no info to base this off of. the main problem is that with a 1050 ti your system is EXTREMELY unbalanced and with your 3gb of ram it might not matter what GPU you have that could well be the bottleneck. the max card i would put in this system would be a gt 1030. the point where i would start putting in a gaming GPU is when the system does not have trouble with normal desktop usage. get an i5 4th gen then think about a real GPU.
