hello. i have a client with an older i7 Dell XPS Studio 8300 (maybe 5-6 years old), 16gb RAM and a SSD. they want to run a game called, "monster hunter world" at 60 fps...now he can't manage 30 fps. they also want to run 2 monitors. i'm not much of a gamer. what are your ideas, please?

thanks!

What's the budget like? Prefer AMD or Nvidia cards?
Does the motherboard's bios support UEFI, or is it legacy only? This will affect if you can put more recent cards in there. If it's legacy only, GTX 700 series and Radeon R7 gpus will be as new as that motherboard can go.
