If a CPU has an integrated graphics card can i still use an external?

[exphyrian64]

The CPU I am purchasing is a intel core i5 6400 which says it has intel hd graphics 530 integrated. But I want to use my gtx 1050ti instead. Would this be possible?

Yes of course.

Ofcourse it is possible. As soon as you install the 1050ti on the motherboard and power the pc, it will be detected automatically(mostly), over the integrated GPU. If it is not detected automatically, you can always change the preference through BIOS, but it wont be needed ideally. Just make sure you plug the monitor to the card and not the board.
