Hello, i just wanna ask if my current processor can handle GTX 1050 my current processor is AMD A8-5600k or i need upgrade my processor first? thank you!

Depends: If it gets the job done then no but if you think your pc cant keep up then yes

Disregarding @Carbide X's less than helpful answer. Yeah, it should be fine and your cpu shouldn't (keyword) bottleneck the 1050 in most games. Although that cpu is still pretty lacking and I'd consider an upgrade in that department first. (I would save more than 100$ for the 1050 though) Also, if you go for the 1050 make sure you get the 3GB version if you can, it should be equal-ish to a 1050Ti

It will run fine if the games you play don't rely solely on each component to max out at 100%. Lower settings and lower resolutions will produce less of a bottleneck.
