Checking if the game runs on your system is a good idea. Your setup includes an AMD FX-4300 with 3.8GHz, which is quite capable for most modern games. The GPU specs you mentioned (GTX 1050 Ti) should handle the demands unless the game is extremely demanding. The confusion about CPU limits might stem from outdated info—most current games are optimized for AMD CPUs at around 3.5GHz or higher. You’re likely safe to run it, but test it with a few hours of gameplay first.
And that's a good question about how tough it is to swap out a CPU, but you're wondering if it'll work fine. Honestly, I think it should be manageable. Not something to stress over, just a bit of effort.
