My processor is i3 3210 with 6gb DDR3 ram and I might change the ram to 8 GB soon but first I want to buy a gpu. My psu is 450 w. I know the 1050ti is much better than other two for 1080p but my monitor has maximum resolution of 1600x900. Which gpu I should buy for playing aaa games at 45+ fps like pubg, witcher 3, GTA v, ark, etc.
(I)Since the prices are high right now, I was considering to buy a 1030 till the prices come back to normal. With 1030 I wouldn't mind 30 fps. Is that a good plan ? Because I'm getting the GT 1030 for 35 USD.
(II) Assuming I find a good deal on both 1050 and 1050ti which one should I buy of these two for future proof 900p gaming at high settings atleast?
Lowest prices I could find
GT 1030 2800 INR
GTX 1050 9000 INR
GTX 1050ti 13000 INR (for inno3d brand is that a good brand?)

It is up to you. I leave here some tests to those cards:

"games at 45+ fps like pubg, witcher 3, GTA v, ark, etc. "


your current cpu is not capable of this regardless of gpu you pair with it


those games are very cpu bound, you are going to need a decent i5 at the minimum
 

30 fps I wouldn't mind in single player games
 


Well if you want to avoid platform upgrade and play video games on a budget look for used gprahics cards from previous generations as I recommended:
gtx950 ; gtx 750ti ; R7 370 ; R9 280
Make sure you have a sufficient power supply.
 

There's no used market here in India people only sell something when it doesn't work
