Problem with enabling NVIDIA TwinView on GTX 960

Hello everyone !
I recently became a fresh Arch Linux user, however I already had some experience with other Linux distros.
I have a dual monitor setup, you can see my xorg.conf below. My main monitor is DFP-1 (1920x1080) and second is on the right of it, CRT-0 (1440x900). As you can see, I had to play around with second monitor's EDID but it doesn't matter now.
I tried to change this setup from using Xinerama to TwinView however I have no idea how to do it so it works just like my current setup. Can you help me? I'd  be really grateful if one of more experienced users shown me how to
