Connecting a second monitor

Hello!

I have x570 Aorus Elite motherboard and 2 screens and I am not sure how to connect them. From the online tutorials which I've seen, it seems to be that I need a vga cable/port, but my pc doesn't have the VGA port, only 2 DVI ports, but to my understanding you can only send 1 signal using HDMI cables. So what should I do? Should I just get a cable adapter? But if both cables are connected to the DVI slots, wouldn't that compromise the signal? Help!

Hey!
If you have an x570 Motherboard I am guessing you have some kind of Ryzen CPU without an integrated GPU. That means you will have to have a dedicated GPU. That's where you attach your monitors to. The GPU should have multiple connectors for your monitors.
