So I been saving up money for new PC parts and I've gotten enough for a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1050 and later I'll be getting a AMD Athlon X4 860k CPU but for now I have a Intel Pentium J2900 but I'm not sure how powerful my GPU will be while I have this CPU.

If you are building a new PC, the Athlon X4 is not good now, it's out-dated now for gaming on, never mine in a few years.
There is no way to know exactly how much the CPU will hold back your system, it depends on the game and the settings. GTX 1050 is good for the price range it's in, the CPU is not.

Are you trying to use your 1050 with that Pentium J2900? That CPU is really only used in very low power and small computers, can you even fit a video card in your system?

If you are building a new computer for gaming on a smaller budget, you want to get the Intel Pentium G4600, it's pretty cheap, dual core with HT and will be faster than the Athlon X4.
