I have a Lenovo ideacentre 710-25ISH PC I use at church for live streaming.

It has a Nvidia GeForce GT-730 graphics card. Not sure of the brand but it only has a single VGA and HDMI output.
One output of the video card goes to the main 32" monitor and the other output feeds the nursery TV.
I want to add a second monitor so I can have Facebook up on it to view the stream and comments so that OBS can be full screen on the 32" monitor.
Would it cost less to get a PCI-E 1X video card or a GT-730 with three outputs?
EDIT:
Just realized I have a USB 3.0 HDMI adapter. Would that work as another display?
EDIT:
Just tried the adapter and it works fine.
