I DONT KNOW HOW I COULD HOOK UP AN EXTERNAL MONITOR TO IT?

then the firewire 800
then the thunderbolt
2 USB's
and the SD card slot

The Thunderbolt port is used for the external monitor. It uses any Apple monitor with a MiniDisplay connector, or any other connectory witht the appropriate video adaptor:

This Apple Store section shows available video adaptors:

Figure out what kind of connection your monitor requires (VGA; DVI; MDMI, etc), get the proper adaptor for the Apple Store, and you show find the rest quite easy.
Please remember to turn off your caps lock key. All caps make a question harder to read and some people consider it to be internet yelling 😮.
depend on what monitor you have, you will need a mini DVI to something fit your monitor (VGA, DVI, or HDMI). If you need further instructions, there a lot of them in youtube.
