Someone recently gave me a Cyberpower PC Model C Series Desktop with an LG Monitor 32" with a 2560 x 1080 resolution, 8-bit, SDR NVIDIA GeForceGT 1030 Graphics Card -- but it seems to only have ONE HDMI Port, 1 DVI Port and Several USB Ports? I believe they are USB-C Ports but I am not 100 percent sure they are?

For the past 15 years I have run a dual monitor setup on my old Gateway Desktop both 1920 x 1200 and I want to upgrade to a new desktop with a dual monitor setup, however I want a 4K dual setup this time to simply use for Office Work, Videos, YouTube, 4K Burning and Playing Movies (Discs) etc....Mostly just want big clear screens to multi-task with.

I was simply given the Cyberpower PC and I am trying to figure out if it has the capability to run a dual Dell UltraSharp 27 4K USB-C Hub Monitor - U2723QE setup (
3840 x 2160 x 2 Monitors ?

How would I go about finding out if this CPU is capable?

Picture of Cyber PC back of hard drive


At the bottom I have an HDMI leading into the 34" LG Monitor which is mediocre quality at best 2560 x 1080. I see the DVI Port which is covered by a piece of plastic that says "DVI" upside down....Other than that I dont see any other HDMI, or Display Ports? I hope the USBs might allow for a second monitor, so I can have two unique 4K displays side by side.

The Gateway has two (serial ports) that allow for my 1920 x 1200 resolutions. I got that computer back in 2009, but its too old to be compatible with new video cards and 4K Monitors........
 
My Specs

OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home
System Model B550 UD AC
System Type x64-based PC
Processor AMD Ryzen 3 4100 4-Core Processor, 3801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Adapter Type GeForce GT 1030, NVIDIA compatible
Adapter Description NVIDIA GeForce GT 1030

Monitor: Dell UltraSharp U2723QE 27" 4K UHD WLED LCD Monitor - 16:9
Resolution 3840 x 2160 x 60 hertz


Problem with my Graphics Card ONLY has ONE HDMI, DVI and some weird Serial Port? Therefore I can only hookup ONE MONITOR until I add another slot....either one more HDMI, and or a Display Port



If I purchase a new graphics card that has one HDMI Port and 3 Display Ports, will that allow for a DUAL Dell UltraSharp U2723QE 27" 4K SETUP?

The Card I am looking at it.....

ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card - PCIe 4.0, 8GB GDDR6 Memory, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2-Slot,

I know its expensive, but I want to make sure I have a good one for 4k Video watching, Youtube, Excel, and Multi tasking Mozilla (dozens of tabs) etc......

Is this DOABLE?
 
I just purchased a new Graphics Card

ASUS Dual NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 OC Edition Gaming Graphics Card - PCIe 4.0, 8GB GDDR6 Memory, HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort 1.4a, 2-Slot, Axial-tech Fan Design, 0dB Technology, Steel Bracket​


The Main Goal is down the line to have a DUAL 27" Dell Ultrasharp Desktop Monitor Setup ( I currently have one so far) And I need a Dual Display Port Slot(s) to use both Monitors....my old graphics card only has HDMI and DVI, so I thought by adding this new one above (the 3050) will give me the foundation to run BOTH MONITORS on my PC.

It seems like I am going to need an ADAPTER to power it because after installing it, the red light stays stuck on there and it doesn't recognize my monitor through the HDMI nor DP Ports (NOT WORKING AT ALL)

Which Adapter do I need so I can effectively plug this into my computer? WILL ANY 8 Pin Adapter work for my computer? How do I find out exactly which ADAPTER and WIRE will work for my CYBERPOWER PC?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks...this is very frustrating that I can't figure out what the issue is?
