I like your suggestion of the GTX 1050Ti, is a decent price $185 each?
Actually you can get them even cheaper ($159.99 now) on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=gtx+1050ti. Also I found lots of them around the $150 price point on newegg https://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=gtx+1050ti&N=-1&isNodeId=1. Apparently each purchase also comes with free Rocket League but I don't know what you'd do with so many, maybe sell them?
Also you can find out the profits of GPUs and best coins to mine on whattomine.com. Unfortunately there's no option for 1050 Ti but right now I think it's best to mine Ethereum. Be sure to overclock your graphics card as much as possible and provide adequate power to each card, all available through MSI Afterburner.
Also I just calculated that you'll get 6-7 1050Ti's at $150 if you follow my list so you might want to swap the motherboard to H110 Pro BTC+ (13 total PCIe slots). The previous motherboard only had 6 PCIe slots. Also I forgot to factor in the PSU costs and riser costs. For PSU if you don't know how to link 2 PSUs together (I don't) I suggest getting a gold or above rated PSU that is around 1200W or 1300W from a reputable brand such as EVGA, Cooler Master, Corsair or Seasonic. Don't skimp or play around with the PSU, you are likely to fry up the cards or motherboard if they don't get adequate power. I suggest getting from those brands mentioned above at a reasonable price with enough PCIe power "holes" to connect all your GPUs (those on Newegg or Amazon are decently priced). If your local microcentre has a cheaper one that is not crappy or suspicious, then get it. If you have any doubts about one particular PSU just don't buy it and shell out a bit more money to buy a better one to be on the safe side. This PSU wattage I recommend is assuming that you'll buy more GTX 1050Ti's to add to your rig on the AsRock motherboard. If you decide to buy another GPU you should recalculate the wattage of everything and give a ~100W margin and make sure they're gold efficiency or better.
P.S.: Seems like the GTX 1050Ti's are the best right now since the price isn't hyper inflated.
Thank you! Great information very helpful~
