Currently I have a vga and an hdmi port for my dual monitor setup. I would like to add another hdmi port to use for my second monitor instead of the vga port, is this possible and if so how do I do it?

The spec page for that model indicates it has onboard or built-in graphics, but it does have a PCIx-E slot. So, there are two ways that an additional HDMI slot can be achieved.
1) A discrete graphics card with more than one HDMI output - the onboard graphics will be disabled when a graphics card is installed, so the new card has to have two HDMI capabilities.
2) continue using the current HDMI output from the present location and add a USB to HDMI adapter.
use an adapter similar to this

I like that style because then you can use most any type of monitor connection, depending on if you change your mind in the future.
OR this one
