Ouch..don't think there is much you can do.
Not sure if 1050ti will be fully utilized

All those upgrades are pretty much necessary, unfortunately.
Probably will still stuggle @ low settings due to cpu

Just gave a buddy of mine a 965 i got from somewhere free, He put a 1050ti in it & It works pretty well. He plays ark / Pubg / etc. just fine.

The 955 and the 965 weren't all that bad.

1050 ti will bottleneck slightly but it won't be that bad. if you can OC the phenom that helps a lot, up to like 3.8-4.0ghz isn't too hard.

source: i used a gtx 960 with a 965 and the bottleneck was barely there, and 1050 ti is basically the same performance.

deneb is still usable, despite being 2 years older than the first bulldozer chips that succeeded them it's actually faster than they were so don't get the wrong idea just because it's AMD.
