XPS 8930 with Dual Monitors?

About to purchase a Dell 8930 with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti with 4GB GDDR5

I want to run two monitors as an extended desktop. I can buy cables for the second monitor when I purchase one. Right now I have a Dell monitor that has the DVI, HDMI, and a few other hookups. 

I just want to make sure I am purchasing the right computer, as a dual monitor setup will be an absolute must. 

Thanks in advance!

First of all, it's been a long time since I saw a dedicated video card that could not handle 2 monitors (both around 1080p), so there's that.

I went to look for you. Where do you see the number 8930 ? I just clicked on plain XPS.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050Ti 4GB GDDR5: DisplayPort 1.3 (1.4 Ready), HDMI 2.0, Dual Link DVI-D

So, you would use the old monitor on DVI and the new monitor on DisplayPort.
