Hey everyone, quick question here!

[MistahHaskins]

Here's my build: 

• CPU
  Ryzen 5 2600x
• Motherboard
  Gigabyte b450M DS3H
• RAM
  16GB Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 3200mhz
• GPU
  Zotac GTX 1650 Super
• Case
  Fractal Focus G - White
• Storage
  1TB WD Blue SN550 NVMe M.2 SSD
• PSU
  Corsair CX650 80+ Bronze
• Display(s)
  Onn 24"
  • Cooling
    Cooler Masters Hyper 212 BE / x2 Noctua NF-F12 PWM chromax.Black.swap

    PSU : Corsair CX650

    To get onto the point, I want to run dual monitors (One using HDMI to HDMI and the other running DVI to HDMI) and was I was wondering if it'll draw too much power than my PSU can handle or will it ruin or degrade my GPU faster than normal!

additional monitors don't really draw power, as they have their own power supplies.

I was referring to my GPU as it has to output to two monitors instead of one

it'll draw like 5w more at idle

my statement doesn't change.  (Also you did say PSU)

 

Anyways:  One the desktop the difference between 1 screen and 2 on your GPU is basically nothing.  In gaming?  Well, it's twice as much rendering.

I get it with gaming but I am only going to be using it for Discord, and other things that aren't gaming. Reason for this entire post was these two things:

 

1: Can my PSU handle the extra power draw from the GPU

2: Will the GPU degrade faster than normal using dual monitor.

1.) It will draw ~5w more at idle, and an identical amount on full load. The only way your PSU won't be able to handle your GPU is if it already can't

2.) No. Rendering an extra monitor really isn't that much more work.

A 2nd monitor running Discord, YouTube, Twitch, etc. doesn't really add any noteworthy load for a modern-ish GPU. You're completely fine. If your PSU can handle the GPU now it will be able to with 2 monitor.
