Hello everyone, I am about to build a new pc, and I want to run dual monitors on it.
Just some light gaming (csgo, league of legends on one screen and youtube and facebook etc. on the other)

The setup im thinking to build so far is:
Intel core i3 6100
Evga 500 Watt PSU
Sandisk 120 GB SSD
Asrock H81m-DG4 Motherboard
Kingston HyperX Fury 8 gb 4 x 2 RAM

For the graphics card, i have a AMD Radeon HD 7790 OC 1 GB at the moment, which i am considering using for the new PC. Would i need to upgrade it if i want to run 2 monitors? If not, should i upgrade to Intel I5 or mabye upgrade my motherboard?

Thanks in advance.
 
I have a 1tb hd drive now, although it is a bit old. Would it be best to empty and reuse, or buy a new one? and do you have any idea if this setup would run smoothly?
 
As long as you use your 120Gb SSD purely for your OS and most used programs (browser and other smallish apps.) then running your games from a secondary drive will be no problem (albeit game load times will be comparatively slower)...its up to you whether you reformat your spindle drive or not. I can't see your setup being problematic in terms of light gaming use. You're GPU isn't the newest out there but you should be able to run the games noted at 1080p on med/high settings without Anti Aliasing.
