Hello!

So, I am looking forward to building a VR PC with the new S340 Elite from NZXT that features the new extra USB and HDMI ports at the front. The case comes with a HDMI passthrough that connects to the HDMI port of the GPU and the port in the front so you can plug the VR headset in the front.
I am currently using a screen that connects to my PC via HDMI, and I have noticed that the GPU that I am planning to buy (GTX 1070) has only one HDMI port. So, in order to have both the screen and the VR headset connected to the PC, do I need to get a new display with a different connector? If i 2 way SLI (which I am also planning to do) will connecting the HDMI from one of the GPUs to the Headset and the other one to the screen work?

Please help.
