You can pair anything with anything else within reason, it all depends on how much you are willing to compromise. If you don't mind dropping details, even the 1050Ti can go a long way. I don't care all that much about graphics details since I can't even be bothered to notice them while moving and I ended up stretching my 1GB HD5770 until AMD dropped support two years ago. (I might have used it a while longer were it not for my multi-monitor desktop glitching a lot due to the GPU being perpetually low on VRAM when I started playing WoW again.)
