The issue is that when the GPU is plugged in, it disables the video out on the motherboard. I think the easiest solution is to use one of the mini-displayport connectors on the GPU and the HDMI port on the GPU. Get a mini-displayport to HDMI cable like this: https://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10246&cs_id=1024603&p_id=15883&seq=1&format=2

Easiest solution is to go into your bios, look under the video settings tab and enable multi-monitor mode. Save, reboot. In windows, go under display settings and enable extended desktop and choose which monitor is #1 and which is #2. #1 will be primary After windows loads. The monitor that boots will be decided by the bios, could be either, it's no big deal.

Under one of those tabs is a setting for multiple monitors. Default is off (this means when you add the gpu, the igpu is disabled). Not sure exactly which one, it changes according to bios and vendor.
