I'm afraid You'll be dissapointed on some of those titles, especially BF5 in multiplayer.

If it comes to video cards, 1050ti and 960 perform similar, but 960 is only 2GB of ram, so this may slow You down in some latest titles.

it will probably run them at 40-60 fps medium

No, you haven't been ripped off necessarily. I think it's actually a reasonable system, based on the fact that you have a 960 in there. This will be more than enough for older games, simple games or esports games like LOL, CS etc.

Most of these components are heavily dated (CPU, drive, PSU could be a serious weakpoint etc).

My suggestion is to throw a £30 240GB+ SSD in there and re-install windows onto that. The difference in most of what you do will be literally "another level". It's arguably the most noticeable upgrade if you aren't used to it.
