Your power supply is a very old design.
It has 168 watts available on the 12v rail.
The video card need 120 watts.
That leaves 48 watts for CPU which needs 54 watts for a I3 4170 and motherboard memory etc also need a few watts.
Not enough power for your planned system.

1060 is simply too much for that psu.
Neither the 1030 nor 1050ti can possibly draw more than 75 watts since they have no PCIe power connector.
400 watts is fine, but I certainly wouldn't run a 1050ti or 1060 on a PSU with a no-name brand, no efficiency rating, and a generic silver box aesthetic.
A gt1030 should be fine, however, I would upgrade your PSU if going for a 1050ti or 1060. CPU might bottleneck a 1060 anyhow in some cases.
You can spend $35 on a new, higher quality 450-watt power supply and not risk killing your system from a PSU failure. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139201&ignorebbr=1&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-PCPartPicker, LLC--na--na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
