Can someone please explain how to install a second monitor to my computer? I am a novice so I'm a bit confused with this. My specs are

GPU- R9 280x 3GB
CPU- i5-3570k
MOBO- z77 extreme 4
Monitor (1)- ASUS VX238H 23"
Monitor (2)- ASUS VX238H 23"

I'm worried because the r9 280x only has one HDMI slot. Can someone explain to me if I can hook up two monitors, and how? Thank you.

The R9 280x should have atleast 1 DVI port on it. If your monitor has a DVI port, use that.
To use a VGA monitor, you'll need an adapter to plug your monitor to your graphics card (VGA to DVI)
