First off, you only listed 1 monitor, so I am going to assume that you have 2 of them, or a 2nd similar monitor.

That computer comes with an R9 270X which is capable of dual monitoring without much issue. That monitor only has VGA and DVI inputs, meaning you would likely need an HDMI to DVI converter for the second monitor if they are duplicates. The first monitor can be DVI to DVI. Unless AMD has changed their multi-monitor support function, you have to use 2 different output types from the video card for Eyefinity gaming (game split between the 2 screens) but for gaming, an odd number of screens is the better option in a 1 row set up.

All this is assuming that you are planning on just using one monitor for gaming, and having the second monitor for browsing and what not.

I'm sorry if any of this went over your head, but i'mm sure any questions you have will be answered if you have any. I'm at work currently, so I did not provide any links, but google is your friend.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Get researching, it's the only way to learn. Everyone starts somewhere, but if someone else does everything for you, then you will just be back in a week when something doesn't go right.
