Going to get an MSI z97 PC MATE motherboard and got a new HDMI benq monitor as my current monitor is like 6 odd years old.

This old monitor uses a VGA adapter I think, so instead of putting this screen to waste, I was wondering whether it's any way to create a dual monitor setup? Would I need a VGA to HDMI adapter and plug that into the other HDMI slot?

I looked up that motherboard. It looks like it has 1 VGA port and 1 HDMI port. So, in that case you need to plug your VGA monitor into the VGA port and your HDMI monitor into the HDMI port. Intel's current HD Graphics is dual-monitor capable.
