Best way to add DisplayPort to PC for dual monitor setup?

[akshelton]

I'm not necessarily worried about price, but I don't plan to game, so I don't need anything too crazy.

I have 2 27" 4k LG monitors that only have HDMI and Displayports. My computer only has 1 VGA and 1 Displayport.
I didn't necessarily want to use a VGA to Displayport cord or adapter, but I could be persuaded if that's not a bad option.

This is a link to the computer that I own:
https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883285740

HP 6300 PRO SFF
Intel Core i5 3470 3.2G
16G DDR3
Windows 10 Professional 64 Bit
I don't see any info about the power supply in that link, so I'll have to open up the PC and see what I have after posting this.

I looked into an MST hub, but the reviews were all over the place:

What about adding a graphics card? What card would be recommended?

I'm honestly not doing anything fancy, but would like to at least be able to run 2 4k monitors at full resolution. I mainly got dual monitor for playing japanese games on my playstation with english guides on the other screen, but I also like the idea of having 2 full screen windows for watching a how-to video on one - and following the steps on another. (I know its not necessary to have 4k for that, but why not?)

MST hub is not an option here. The combined monitors attached to a hub cannot exceed what a single DP port is capable of. A single 4K 60 Hz monitor saturates the majority of a DP connection, there is not enough bandwidth for 2 of them on a single hub/port.

That looks like a computer that only takes half-height PCIe cards, so it's going to be very difficult to find any compatible graphics cards with 2 DP ports.

The best way to add DisplayPort to your PC is to add a graphics card. I would recommend a GTX 1060 (or similar) low profile graphics card.

I was only able to find GTX 1050 series cards available in low profile. Of those I would recommend a GTX 1050 Ti (one DisplayPort one DVI-D).
