How many HDMI ports does this PC really have?

Well, he can easily check the CPU type using the Windows ‘System’ feature or connect his current monitor to the MB HDMI socket (and check the enable/disable setting in Bios).
Once he knows that the CPU does not have an internal GPU, he can choose a monitor for connection to the external GPU. I would however not make ‘both HDMI and DP interface’ a monitor requirement as that restricts the choice at the lower price end and makes the price higher. As my GPU has only one HDMI and three DP sockets, I connect my 4K TV (HDMI) to the HDMI socket and my 1080p HDMI monitor to the DP socket using a DP to HDMI adapter (about 10 euro). Works fine for me.
