How to connect two monitors to PC?

I recently got a new PC, and i have 2 monitors i want to connect. one is VGA and one is HDMI. The only thing is, my PC only has one HDMI, one DisplayPort and one DVI. The VGA monitor (which I want to use as my main monitor)
is currently plugged in with a VGA to HDMI adapter, which means i can't plug in the HDMI monitor. I looked at HDMI splitters, but from what i can tell, they just have the same picture on both monitors. Could I get a HDMI to DisplayPort, or a HDMI to DVI? Would that work?
Any help very much appreciated.

As mentioned you need to use another adapter....either a VGA to DP or VGA to DVI adapter.

Hey spunk.....you link doesn't work. It doesn't highlight at all.

I would use the DVI port for my main monitor if I were you.

What kind of DVI port does the PC have? If it's DVI-I, you can use a cheap passive DVI to VGA adapter. (DVI-I has analog video present, which is what VGA uses. DVI-D only has digital video.)

The plug the HDMI monitor into the HDMI port.

You can only use a DVI-I port directly to VGA, the DVI-D is digital only. With DVI-D you will need an adapter for digital to analogue conversion. That seems to be for all GTX 1050 cards assuming what's listed in your specs is correct.
VGA is now a legacy connection.

With DVI-D you will need an active adapter for digital to analogue conversion. A specific DVI-D to VGA adapter lead including some electronics.

Similar to the adapter the OP must be using to connect the VGA monitor to an HDMI port.
