If your monitor has an HDMI in, I suggest using that. If your monitor has only a VGA in cable, you should purchase a DVI to VGA adapter. Like this: newegg.com
If you were to crossfire with a second 270, your performance increase would differ between games. Sometimes the fps increase may be small, sometimes it would be very large. However, it will never quite reach 2x the fps.

If your monitor has DVI-D or DVI-I or HDMI connectors then you use that. But if not then the Above post is correct you will need a adapter. As well regarding crossfire, it depends if your motherboards has that capability, but crossfiring 270's are a waste I would just buy a 280/280x/290.
