Need help with my 2nd monitor.

Hi!
I got myself a second monitor and it has got only VGA. My graphics card is Gigabyte GTX 1050 TI. Its HDMI hole is taken by my first monitor and i was wondering if this adapter can help me connect it to DVI-D. https://www.itshop.ee/adapter-dvi-24-pin-to-vga-15-pin-hd

FWIW there are already a lot of threads that answer this question, but no that adapter will not work. DVI connectors in the 10xx series cards do not carry analog signal at all anymore so you need to get an active adapter like this

Where are you finding monitors that only accept VGA in 2018?
