ok, so to go back to your opening post, adding a GPU will only help if the programs you will be running be benefit from it.
so if you want to get into gaming, crypto mining, photoshop, AutoCAD etc then Yes., it will help.
if your PC needs aren’t going to differ, then No, it won’t help.
if you do want to ‘add a bit of speed’ to the ageing PC, then for me a SSD would be the better upgrade path.

Depends on what you are wanting to do with your new graphic card and budget. Then we can go from there,matching your spec’s from your mobo and power supply.

I am kind of leaning towards the GTX 1050 2GB D5 Video Card

good choice, buy that one then.
but we are still…, still…, none the wiser as to your reasoning, budget or purposes for such a choice.

I didn’t get your last part of your comment “none the wiser as to your reasoning, budget or purposes for such a choice”

I suppose he was curious as to why and what you were going to use the card for. Anyway it seems you chose a good graphics card.

I would like my computer to be a good gaming computer and a good work computer.

The GPU you chose will fit perfectly. Since we have chosen one, is there anything else you require?

Will it make a difference in gaming?

It will be an improvement over your onboard graphics depending on the games you wish to play.
