Not sure what you mean by "too much for it to handle". But the card would be a good choice for that CPU. I won't be bottlenecked too badly and sometimes not at all. And if you check the used CPUs on places like ebay, you might find an upgrade to the i3 that will improve performance even more.
Of course, you never really stated system specs, so I am assuming you will have a sufficient size PSU for the GTX 1050 Ti and the card will fit.
