If you meant that you want to play games on two monitors simultaneously at high-ultra settings with a decent framerate, I'm afraid that's impossible with this sort of setup.

 

I suggest getting a different SSD (V300 is rubbish) such as the Adata SP550 and a single stick of 8GB of RAM for future expansion (since the H110 only has two RAM slots).

looks solid, id personaly go with a wd drive over the seagate but to eachs own

Maybe consider a 240GB SSD, and maybe a GTX 1060?

Oh no no no i just mean ill have one monitor open with like... twitter or itunes i dont know and then the game on the other! not 2 at once!

 

And is it a bad SSD? Thanks for the advice! and yeh if i want to upgrade i might just buy another 2 sticks of 8GB instead? because i want dual channel RAM at the moment

I dont really think i will need 240GB because its just gonna hold windows and a couple of games that i play often... The rest of it will be on the HDD! And trust me i would prefer the 1060 but i literally cannot find it in stock anywhere and for a cheaper price the rx 480 loses about 5 FPS which isnt too much for the price difference so i think ill stick with the AMD GPU

Very true.

The system looks pretty solid, so I wish you good luck!

That's alright then.

 

The SSD is crappy because it's a bait and switch product from Kingston, where they fidgeted with the controllers and basically made them slow. Dual channel RAM won't make a considerable difference so I'd say it's better to go with one stick just for future expansion. Save the money and just buy one more stick once you plan to upgrade.
