That card is nothing special, I wouldn't seek it out, but it's nothing to avoid. I'd get it assuming it's one of the cheaper 6650 XTs you can get. 

Asrock makes a couple 6650 XTs, which one specifically?

 

None of them are best in class by any stretch, but then again none of the are terrible and a 6650 XT really doesn't need a spectacular cooler or PCB design. If the price is fair for one I'd get it, it's not likely worth spending the extra on a higher end one like a Red Devil. They're good enough.

Asrock Challenger is fine.

Had some experience with that brand for 5600XT and 6600XT, and temp never went too high (at worst temp sits around mid 70s).
