The cpu is probably an i5-2320 (a lot better than an i5-2330m which is a poor laptop cpu).
You have a few upgrade options which depend on whether you want to stick with your current cpu or upgrade it as well. It might be upgradeable to something that could play current AAA titles on ultra settings.
So the question is how much do you want to spend? Now and maybe in the future.
--------
If you want a 1060 buy a 6gb version. It will work OK with your cpu.
Before you buy any gpu, you first need to take the case off to check what power supply you have. There should be a label on the side. We also need to know if there are any spare power leads that end in small 3x2 or 4x2 plugs.
Update: we also need to check if the motherboard bios supports UEFI, otherwise new graphic cards won't work.
i have looked on ebay and a gtx 1050 is about £100
a gtx 1050ti is about £150
and a gtx 1060 is about £200
i dont mind paying the £200 for a 1060 aslong as it will run well for my computer.
i want to play games like last man standing and maybe player unknowns battlegrounds
i dont really mind about playing new AAA titles as i have an xbox one for that
good luck getting a 6GB 1060 for £200
Unless you are looking for a 3GB
So recommended a 1050ti? Would that play player unknown battlegrounds well?
One of the few cpu heavy games out there ^, gives you an idea.
It's very hard ^ to find direct comparisons using old hardware but close enough.
I think the gtx1050ti is a little under selling the cpu look at the Rx 570 or the higher GTX1060.
570 if budget/bottlenecking is a concern, 580 for full power. I would recommend the 580 over the 1060 since it has the same (if not slightly better) performance for less money.
Also cryptocurrency mining if you're into that kinda thing.
Be sure that you delete ALL GPU drivers using DDU before installing a new card, no matter what card you buy. Also remember to install the drivers for your new card when you install it.
Ppl tend to be biased against amd gpus, however the GTX1060/Rx 580 are similar with the Rx 580 pulling ahead in a majority of DX12 games.
Personally I've had no problems with amd/ati cards and drivers. I started with the ati 9600xt/x800xl then went to NVidia 8800gts640MB/GTX280 1GB then went amd all the way up to now and just ordered an Rx580 8GB.

And yes the Rx580 310 Sol/s is better than GTX 1060 281 Sol/s in mining.
