So I have a problem. I have a prebuilt computer and currently bought a pony gtx 1050 ti graphics card to upgrade graphics and play battlefield, etc. so I plugged in the graphics card and connected the monitor to the graphics card and everything runs except the monitor doesn't detect it and does turn on. What's the problem????
 
You said your system is a pre-build pc, but that doesn't give us a clear idea it is. The first thing we might want to know is the rated wattage for your power supply. The GTX 1050Ti should usually only require 75W to power it properly.

Also, have you tried out all the other ports on the gpu?
 
Are you running windows 10? If its not working from the one provided from their site, try updating windows. Though it is a little slower, windows 10 usually helps you find and install drivers for your GPU as well.
