Hi guys, first thread here so if I'm doing anything wrong please let me know.

Thing is: I need to build a machine capable of supporting up to 6 or 7 monitors. I found a motherboard (MSI B150M) with the IGD option which lets me enable iGPU and dGPU simultaneously. So far so good I think.
Now, if I want to mount a 2nd GPU to get more monitor outputs, how much trouble am I getting into? Will I be able to use the IGD with the two cards on? I read that if Crossfire is activated, the second GPU outputs get disabled. So the final question would be: if I deactivate the Crossfire and enable IGD, can I use the onboard, 1st and 2nd cards outputs simultaneously?

I know this might be tricky, but I'll be happy if any of you can guide me a little on this. Thanks in advance!
