Wanting to run dual monitors with games on both and be able to run a recording software for one. I do not know much about the computer specs im upgrading from but I am looking to buy a new video card.

The 370 will not yield a great dual monitor gaming experience. I would suggest at least a R9 390 if you're going AMD. However, I recommend Nvidia, either the 970 or the 980.

Before you start looking for a video card, I need to know what processor you have and the amount of RAM you have. This can be found out by pressing Windows+R to open Run and typing msinfo32 and pressing Enter. Then just look through the system information on the right side.

I would personally wait for the new GTX 1070 to come out, it will be about £300 but it is meant to be faster than the Titan X (which is £800+). The new GTX 1070 is worth saving up for because it will cope with all the latest titles. The older cards will all go down in price eventually, but I would personally wait for the new cards to be released.

Also I have two monitors and you cannot play games on them....Dual monitors are meant for multitasking, not gaming because you can see the bezel between the two monitors.

The computer has 8 gb of ram. It turns on fine but doesnt show video currently so I cant check the processor that way. I think its a problwm with the built in monitor port.

Yes it is :) So many people seem to recognize his build, but this picture was his older build when it used to be yellow and black.

Its got 8 gigabites of ram in it, can't check processor because I think there is a problem with the monitor port as the video doesn't show up on my monitor. Those video cards work with the power supply I have correct? There is a picture of it in my original post

Would it not work with two wow accounts? even if not I still want dual monitors but about that video card, I only have about 150-200 to spend on it cause I need money left over in case I have to replace anything else in the pc.

How much would it be to replace with a decent one that will work with the hardware I want/have?
