[neki- tamo]

I was looking for a new gpu and found a gtx 1050 ti,and i don't know if my mobo(dh87rl) can support it, and can it be dual.The gpu i have now is Intel HD 4400.

If this is your motherboard, then yes a 1050 Ti should fit just fine. You can install it into that long blue slot located at the bottom of the board, the one surrounded by the little black slots. Those are called PCIe slots. The 1050 Ti should generally draw power from that slot, so no need to worry about installing a power cable to it. Though this may vary on the model card you buy.

When you say dual do you mean dual GPU? As in use both the 4400 and the 1050 Ti together? If that is what you're asking, then no. The 4400 is an integrated GPU (iGPU) built into the CPU. Once you install the 1050 Ti (dedicated graphics card) the 4400 will automatically disable itself. You'll need to remember to plug whatever video cable you have into the 1050 Ti after installing it if you want video output.

And what do you mean by 'wires blocking the way'? Are they blocking that section of your motherboard? I think your computer case may be too small to fit an 1050 Ti. Please read the dimensions of the 1050 Ti on the website you are buying it from and make sure it will fit in your computer CASE. It will fit in the motherboard, but you did not tell us what type of computer case you have.
