Hu Guys....

Newbie here! :) Bit of a technophobe too, so please bear with me. I have a Dell Inspiron 660, i3 Quad, 8GB ram, Integrated Intel HD2500 graphics.......I love photography & want to upgrade my monitor to one that has a resolution of 2550x1440 [approx]. To get the full benefit of the monitor it needs to be connected via a 'displayport' which I don't have, I only have HDMI which gives a max of 1080p I believe? Called Dell & they recommended two graphics card that have the displayport on them but both are obsolete now, thanks Dell! If & when I find one (needs to be max 330w as there's no separate power supply, PCI 2.0 I think as well), is it possible to run two graphics cards together as obviously I have scanner, printer, speakers etc plugged into the main Integrated graphics card? I know that my current Graphics card could handle the 2550x1400 resolution, but finding an adaptor from HDMI > DP that would give me that resolution is nigh on impossible :/
Any advice guys?
