This depends on your definition of 'lag' and what graphics card you had before hand. If the original graphics card you had is only a few years old, it will only do a slight improvement on your Frames Per Second (FPS) at certain resolutions. Most FPS issues are often related to how high of a resolution or other special features in the game is turned on. Look at the Minimum System Requirements of the games you are playing for both Graphics, Processor and Memory. If you are hitting only for the Minimum Requirements on all three, just the graphics card will not solve all the problems. Processor can also affect how fast a game goes as well as Memory. The Graphics card will only help in situations where you are trying to see the game with higher graphic settings, but low memory and slower processor will also make a game seem sluggish. Also, if you are using a normal Hard Drive, this can slow some things down, especially with low memory, as the disk is often the slowest part of the computer and with low memory, your computer will be writing and reading from the hard drive more because it is trying to free up memory and reading in new data.

You're pushing your CPU harder than it needs to. This is the perfect answer to that game lag. The GTX 1050 is a good choice since it is low power, and you don't need to replace your power supply.
