Current LCD monitor set-up is an older HP W2017d connected to the (new) HP SlimLine Desktop 260-p026 [purchased Nov.2016]. Have already purchased a Dell SE2416H [supports VGA and HDMI] and has full resoultion 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz (max.)  SlimLine Desktop 260-p026 has 6th generation Intel Core i3-6100T processor w/an Intel HD Graphics 530(16). I have already upgraded RAM to 16GB (max.)  Purpose: NOT to used for gaming but for running thinkorswim [T.D. Ameritrade] web-portal software. What second video card can you recommend?

@rbgd, welcome to the forum.

 

I suggest that you buy a USB 3.0 video adapter to power the second monitor.  StarTech makes very good products.  You can contact their Tech Support using their Email or Chat Live option to get help choosing the best adapter for your system.  The reason that I suggest this option is, the power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is only 180W.  You would have to upgrade it to add a discrete video card.  Also, it is difficult to upgrade Slimline models.
