Soo, I'm going to upgrade to a: https://azerty.nl/producten/product_detail/5602/640824/asus-h81m-plus-moederbord.html (Asus HM81M plus motherboard) and a rx 470. So i'm wondering if there is an option to use the VGA slot on the motherboard because i have one VGA only monitor whilst running my HDMI screen of off my rx 470.. Is this possible? Or do i just have to settle for using 1 monitor?

**Also do i need to download anykind of drivers before installing that motherboard?

Current set-up:
GPU: GTX 750 1GB
CPU: i3-4160 (LGA 1150)
Mobo: Specially made for this built (That's why i need an upgrade)
PSU: Specially made for this pc 400 watt
RAM: 8Gb 1666mhz

Going to:
GPU: xfx rx 470 4gb
CPU: i3-4160 (LGA 1150)
Motherboard: One of the mentioned above (Because of tight budget reasons)
PSU: B500 Ver.2 Coolermaster
RAM: 8GB 1666mhz
 
Solution
You will need to enable your iGPU graphics in device manager, and check your MoBo manual as there may be a setting that needs to be enabled in BIOS.

You will need the Video (sometimes called VGA) drivers that came with your motherboard (or download newest ones form web), other then that you are good.

Now FYI all the processing for that monitor will be with the iGPU so this should be not be used to do anything graphics intensive on.
