Hi
I have a machine with i7 2660k ,Asus P8P67 PRO Motherboard ,8Gb Ram and AMD Radeon 5450 Graphics card.
Recently I bought a second Dell U2711 Monitor which supports 2540x1440 resolution for extended display.
Unfortunately , in my graphics card ,only DVI port supports the resolution and so I am getting 1080p in my second monitor. I do not use the machine for gaming. Its just for my development works.
Please suggest me a cheap graphics card which can give me dual 2k display output and will fit with my current config.

YES but you need a really good power supply. Check this out to gain some info about the gtx 580...

Hey mate, a gtx 970 should do the job. It is powerful and cheap since the newer cards came out. I did definitely recommend it. Or either you can get the new amd rx 480 which is a budget graphics card and is great at 1080p and 1440p. Hope this helps:) For 1440 p you need a budget around 500AUD

Then how about a gtx 960?
960 is next choice which is around $260AUD and then the next choice after the gtx 960 is the gtx 750ti, which is not meant for gaming but excellent budget card at a price of $190AUD.
