Ok,so this is going to seem like a real noob question, but when I set my computer up for dual-display, does it matter which port on my video card I plug the primary monitor into, or will windows just decide what's the primary until i change it?
 
no it doesnt matter, just plug them both in, and when you right click>properties>settings you can then adjust which monitor is primary i.e. which monitor games/programs will open up on by default
 
I always set the primary monitor on the inside plug in. When you go into the display properties you can drag the monitor windows around to have them setup however you want. Just make sure you have them in the direction you want your mouse over to go.

IE if you have monitor 1 on the bottom then monitor 2 above and want the mouse over to go up instead of to the right drag the 2nd display image above display 1 like this.
