The Asus one uses last gen strix coolers so I'd say go with it.

Hi, since my little sister's birthday is coming up. I thought of buying her a GPU. Nothing on the high end side, just anything that would let her play CS:GO on high settings at around 60fps @1080p. I'm not on AMD cards since its a bit scarce to find them here. Nothing second hand too, cause people really abuse their cards where I live.

 

I have some graphics cards lined up for picking, but if you have any other suggestions that would be awesome.

So here's the graphics card I've picked out so far:

1. Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI 4gb G1 Gaming

2. MSI GTX 1050 TI Gaming X Twin Frozr 4gb

3. Asus GTX 1050 TI Expedition 4gb

4. Zotac GTX 1050 TI OC 4gb

 

if I can get a sale price or a good price on a 1060, this would be my choices:

1. Asus GTX 1060 dual 3gb

2. Gigabyte GTX 1060 G1 Gaming/Windforce 3gb

3.  Zotac GTX 1060 AMP! 3GB

 

If you were wondering what her PC specs are:

i7-4770

Asus H87I-Plus

2x8GB DDr3 G.Skill Ram

EVGA Supernova G2 650W

 

Thanks in advance and cheers! :)

The expedition is kicks,  other than that any 1060 is good but the 6gb model will be way more viable long term. 

I was actually looking for a 6gb with a good deal. Since in Asia, the prices from the 3gb to the 6gb prices are too big. Like around $150 converted. But I was looking at the Asus' Strix line up.

id personally avoid zotac i find their support isn't great and at least for me their products have pretty high failure rate

I heard about the failure rate, my cousins personally has a zotac and told me it was decent, but pretty loud at times specially underload.

Asus strix is a great option,  they have over engineered cooling so they are dead silent.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious
