I am going to upgrade my AMD Radeon R7 250 to a GTX 1050. However, I want the best experience with gaming but I have 2 1920 x 1080p monitors. I am only using 1 currently because I don't want to put to much pressure on the 250 and game at the same time. I don't want to have to buy another GTX graphics card to use my monitors though. I was thinking, can I plug in my monitors to my 250 so I won't have to game and display my monitors on the GTX? I don't know if the drivers will mess up and not work together or something might happen. Please let me know! Thanks! -Brandon

Um, yes, about all that... Maybe you should just focus on saving up for a new PC entirely. PSU, motherboard, and CPU replacement will cost a lot more before it's even worth considering the GPU you should upgrade to.

Hello again. I found these 2 screws and a metal lip where you can open the back of the computer. I unscrewed it and I saw this cable. It looked like a PCI-E cable. I looked on the side of it and it says that. Why is that there? For a possible upgrade? If so then why is it put behind the motherboard? https://imgur.com/a/aFQes

Hello again. I a was wondering about getting a GTX 980. Does this computer have a good enough PSU? If not what PSU should I get? I found a way to get into the casing.
