im wanting to set up a dual monitor display, can i do this with an AMD A10 7700K APU alone or will i need to get a dedicated GPU? if i need to get a GPU it will probably be an older one as im trying to build on a budget. also what would the minimum requirements be to run dual monitors?

this is my build at the moment

To quote ASRock:
"Graphics, graphics and even more graphics! You've demanded for more eye candy, so this motherboard supports Triple Monitor. You may choose up to three display interfaces from the rear i/o to connect monitors and use them simultaneously without installing another graphics card"

Yes, you can do up to 3 monitors with your APU. One DVI, VGA, and HDMI.
