I think it would be an awesome upgrade and breath new life into your rig.

Make sure to check the specs of the card you order vs the room you have in case, as well as the PSU.

CPU is now a bit dated for newer games, 8 GB of RAM is becoming a hindrance in some games, and, for sure you will need a bigger PSU...

At some point, you will have to ask yourself .... is it worth putting more money into a DDR3-based again i5 rig?

At some point, it might be wise to just stand pat and start saving for an entire new rig... (although you can take a GTX1050Ti and larger PSU with you, so, get at least a decent 550-600 watt unit from someone you've heard of)

Since your case is rather compact I highly recommend the seasonic M12II 520w. It's fully modular and thus you can avoid running into spaceissue and have a much easier time with the cables.
