I'm building a system, and i wanna be able to run a 25 inch monitor as my main screen (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001281) and also i wanna have my 40 inch hooked up across the room for watching movies and stuff. What would be a good card for this? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,
Bobby

Are you going to watch movies and game at the same time?

Just about any single video card can handle dual monitors, however gaming will place a huge toll on the video card which will probably result in choppy video on the the HDTV. You will also experience lower performance in games as well since the video card must handle two tasks at the same time.
