for dual 1080p gaming a GTX580 will do but it depends on the games you run. if not gaming then any card with two or more output ports will do. For gaming, the more VRAM the better.

Does dual screen gaming exist? I thought it was single screen or triple screen?

If you are gaming you're going to have to do additional upgrades. Neither of the cards I suggested previously will handle gaming and any card that will probably will not fit in your case.

You are correct in thinking you can only play a game across 1 or 3 monitors. You can however have 2 monitors plugged into your gaming level GPU and use one for a game and the other for monitoring tools and such.

Some people do it. They put their monitors in portrait(or landscape) and they place them beside each other. But I really prefer triple screen w/ one 30+" screen at the back for researches like walkthroughs, etc

First, your system is a low profile system if I have the right pictures, that means that expandability is limited from both a power supply side and just a physical size perspective, along with cooling. So - the only decent choice in all of this for a modern graphics card is the Nvidia 750ti. Unfortunately, due to the chassis size, you'll need a half-height card. The only one I'm aware of right now is the Gigabyte GV-N750OC-2GL.

It's a good card, low power, low profile, very efficient and good connectivity.

Galaxy also makes a low profile 750ti, not sure on availability yet, although it should be out by now.

The question though is whether or not you plan on gaming? Because if you don't play games than you don't need to spend nearly as much on a GPU.

Yes I know about that thanks, I just hadn't seen dual screen gaming.

Most gaming GPUs can run dual screens.
