What GPU do you have? If you have an open HDMI or displayport you can buy an adapter.

Is this the card you have? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127832 If so it has two DVI ports, just hook it up.

If you don't have a second DVI port then grab an HDMI to DVI adapter like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812400292&cm_re=HDMI_to_DVI_adapter-_-12-400-292-_-Product

That's the card i have, but if you look at the connectors the dvi ports are both different than each others why? http://www.modders-inc.com/wp-content/uploads/image//2014/09/DSC_2958.jpg check the picture. are they both the same?

One is a DVI-I and the other is DVI-D. DVI-I carries an analog signal as well as digital so you could use a passive DVI to VGA adapter if your monitor only supported VGA. For your scenario you can use either DVI output for your DVI monitor.
