Need PC pro

Anyone reading this please don't guess unless you know the answer. I wish there was an Oculus support over the phone but I the agents would probably be still as incompetent as the idiots that help you with the support ticket.

Ok, so I bought the Oculus bundle with the Alienware X51 R3. You can view it here. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01BHN27M2/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I'm sure a pc pro will say it's a piece of shit, hence why it's probably discontinued already. The reason I think it sucks is because its impossible for me to keep monitor running while playing VR. The monitor goes black and I have to unplug HDMI from monitor and plug it back in when I want to see screen. A best buy rep told me that it's because I have a GeForce 970 instead of a 10 series. My graphics card cant handle the rift and monitor. Is this true?

I further plugged my monitor into the motherboard hdmi which displayed the gameplay, but graphics on screen obviously took a dive and possibly slowed my pc down because games like The Climb wont load but will only play sound on my Rift.

Anyone with tech knowledge please explain whats going on, and if theres a cheap fix. I play PC games and Rift games and don't want to keep unplugging my monitor just to play Oculus. Thanks!

Modern cards don't have the old VGA anymore and I can see the DVI being fazed out also in the future.
