Asus GTX 1050ti to Replace GTX 660

[TheBlackDoge]

Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my current GTX 660 to a GTX 1050ti, and was wondering if there was any reason to stay away from the Asus Cards, as i did not see them in the buyers guide. THe card i had in mind is the ASUS GeForce GTX 1050 Ti STRIX GAMING OC, as it is avalible locally, and also comes with a free copy of rocket league. Is there any reason to avoid this card?
Thanks for any help.

Are you running Sierra already? If not, please upgrade to Sierra before changing your video card. The Pascal series video cards from Nvidia (including the GTX 1050 Ti) can only be used in Sierra 10.12.4 or above.
