Last year I built my first PC and all is well. The only downside is that for a lot of my programs I use multiple tabs or applications at the same time. So I have been getting ready to pull the plug for the purchase of the same monitor so my setup isn't out of place. The monitor I have and getting a second one is the Sceptre M25 with 165 hz refresh rate on Display Port. I am wondering what Display port splitter I should get that is in a reasonable price range so I can daisy chain the two monitors so I can multitasking easier and be more efficient with School, etc. The display port version on my monitor is DP 1.4

I don't think that'll work quite like you want it to. Why not just use a HDMI if your GPU doesn't have another display port?

I'm not actually trying to be as grumpy as it seems.

I will find your mentions of Ikea or Gnome and I will /s post.

The HDMI on my monitor is HDMI 2.0, not 2.1 so I am unable to get the ability to run 165 hz on HDMI. Windows OS runs at 165 hz whilst connected to DP. Unless if I am able to run different refresh rates on separate monitors with no issues then I need a Hub/splitter.

Of course you can. 

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.
