i have a GTX 1060 and i have 2 monitor (1)HDMI and (2) VGA.
I want to use them both . Can i connect one in gpu and another one on motherboard...
Will it cause any problem !?

My specs if you need:
i5-4440S (cpu)
gtx 1060 (gpu)
corsair vengance 8gb ddr3 x2 (memory)
450W cooler master (psu)
Gigabyte B85M-D3H-A (mobo)
500gb seagate x2 (hdd)

TIA

it wont cause any problem it will work
You can't use both GPUs simultaneously unless the motherboard BIOS supports it, as on most motherboards installing a graphics card automatically disables the integrated one to avoid driver & resource conflicts.

But there's no need to use the integrated GPU anyway as the GTX 1060 can run two monitors easy so I don't know why you are even asking that question. Heck, get the appropriate monitor cables and you can run up to four monitors on it.

For the monitor which only has a VGA input you just need to buy a DVI-to-VGA adapter.
