I have a dual monitor setup and just recently built a new computer. I'm trying to hook up both monitors but my g card only has one VGA port. I try to plug my other monitor into the VGA port on the motherboard and it doesn't register that it's there. I try the dvi port... Still nothing. Help please

Your GPU has: DVI-I, Display Port and 2x HDMI ports.
For connecting both monitors to your GPU there are many ways. Pick your favourite:
Way 1
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to 1st HDMI port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to 2nd HDMI port.
Way 2
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to DVI-I adapter and connect it to DVI-I port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to HDMI port.
Way 3
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to Display Port adapter and connect it to Display port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to HDMI adapter and connect it to HDMI port.
Way 4
1st VGA monitor: use VGA to DVI-I adapter and connect it to DVI-I port.
2nd VGA monitor: use VGA to Display Port adapter and connect it to Display port.
Note: when you have dedicated GPU installed, your MoBo display ports won't work until you remove your dedicated GPU.
Another note: don't use any DVI-D ports since VGA monitors use analog signal and DVI-D ports don't carry analog signal in them.
