Dual Monitor Setup Is It Possible?

Hardware GPU
1

Hello fellow Tek people! 

I was wondering if my current hardware could do a Dual Monitor setup

My Rig:

CPU: AMD A10 5800K

GPU: EVGA 760 SC http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DHW4HXY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

RAM: Gskill 2x4 GB at 2133mhz

MB: Asrock FM2A55M-DGS

Running on Windows 7

I currently use a 40 inch TV via HDMI @1080p with my Rig

I have Sony monitor with a VGA port with a native res. of 1024x768

What are some things I would have to do to get these both up and running at the same time? Or is it even possible with the current hardware? 

What I would like or wish to do with this setup is 

-Get use out of that old monitor (Which has very good color and contrast)

-Run a game on the 40 inch and Google Chrome on the Sony monitor

-Run a game with the 760 on the 40 inch and Run an another game with the APU

Some things I know may happen

-The CPU may bottleneck some games or programs but that doesn't matter to me ill turn down the settings/resolution if I need to

Thanks for any advice or help

Let me know if any other information is needed

While I'm reasonably sure it's impossible to run AMD and NVidia drivers side by side, your card shouldn't really have problems driving both displays.

You need a DVI-I to VGA adapter or cable to connect the card up to the Sony TV, but those are usually dirt cheap.

The DVI-I to VGA adapter usually comes with newer graphic cards, so check your box from your 760 incase you missed it. Other then that you should really have no issues connecting your sony monitor up and having a 2nd screen. Although, i'm not certain how to set it up so your APU runs the 2nd monitor.
