1. can I put a graphics card like a 1050 ti in with a pc that has an apu like amd ryzen 3 2200g?
2. If I'm going to sell a cpu mobo and ram do I need to wipe any of my data off of it? If I do how do I do it
3. Is it bad if my pc temp is around 10-30° while gaming? And around 1-10° Idle?
4. How long do component's last for like (example) a motherboard will last for a year
And 5. Are the usbs and audio ports better at the front of the pc or the back of the pc?

1. Yes, to use the 2200G plug the monitor into the motherboard, to use the 1050 ti, plug the monitor into the 1050 ti. When you use the 1050 ti or dedicated GPU the iGPU is disabled as it's not being used. You could however enable both if you have multiple monitors so you could use the 1050 ti for gaming on your main monitor then use the iGPU on the 2200G for the secondary monitor for web/YT/etc, should be able to enable this in the BIOS.
2. No, your data is on your SSD/HDD.
3. Those temps are very cool if your talking about Centigrade, well under the thermal limit for most newer CPU's.
4. CPU, about 3-5 years. GPU, about 2 years. PSU depending on quality. Case, forever. Storage, as long as it lasts. MB, as long as CPU. Memory, as long...

5. There the same unless you have a dedicated sound card, then the back is better. Typically you want to hook up your speakers in the back and your headphones in the front.

components can(and often do) last for decades. They will most likely outlive their usefulness - you will probably replace it before it actually dies. The question isn't how long it will last, but how long will it do what you want and need it to do. My 20 year old computer will still open up word, allow me to write and print out documents - not nearly as fast as newer pc's, but when it was new, it was fast.

3 I would suspect that your temp sensor is showing you erroneous readings, or the program you are using is. HW Monitor (for one) often doesn't show correctly with AMD. Core Temp seems to work for me.

4 As was stated above, components that are taken care of, dusted regularly can commonly outlast their usefulness. You can extend the lifetime of certain components, like CPU/GPU by buying from the front side of the curve and then working with the lowered settings you will use in things like gaming as they age and the programs intensity gets better. Buying lower end (cheaper) equipment usually puts them closer to obsolescence.
HDD are generally recommended to replace every five years for storage critical situations. SSD also need to be replaced from time to time. Often there is software you can get to monitor that, like Samsung Magician, etc.

5 There should be no significant difference in your front/rear USB ports of the same type. Another post above hits on the quality of the sound by ports. In a general sense your front sound ports are for nothing other than headphones and convenience.
