Is it possible for a GTX 1050ti to run a dual display setup? or should I use the HDMI port of my motherboard for the 2nd monitor(ASUS Prime A320M-K)?

Just want to know which is ideal.

The HDMI port on the motherboard is for onboard graphics, assuming your CPU has one. The GTX 1050ti has one HDMI and a DP connector, using whichever one is free, for the other monitor should be fine for you.

Attention is what makes life meaningful.

Also, please quote me for a reply. 🙂

AMD Ryzen 3200g has a built in graphics. Is it ideal that I use this one?

Use your GTX 1050 Ti GPU output's.

Wouldn't that heat up my GPU if use the DVI port for the secondary monitor together with the HDMI port for the primary monitor?

Nope. Use the DisplayPort, BTW.

No

There are multiple outputs for a reason, no need to use the cpus graphics
