I am building a PC and using this case
BitFenix Prodigy M
and i wasn't sure if you would need more than two graphics cards for two monitors and two cards i doubt would fit.
Thanks for any help on this
I have got a rough idea on the build now but i was just wondering for any reconmended graphics cards.
Here is a rough idea
AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor
Any ideas for the motherboard? thanks for any suggestions :)
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Just wondering will this card handle 2 monitors? Sapphire Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card
BitFenix Prodigy M Arctic White MicroATX Mini Tower Case
Corsair CX 600W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer
2x BitFenix BFF-BLF-12025O-RP 43.5 CFM 120mm Fan

As long as you're using a decent modern graphics card, you will be able to run 2 and possibly more monitors fine.
 
Most graphics cards have enough outputs for two or more monitors by themselves.
What is it you want to achieve - multi desktop, or multi-monitor gaming, because that's where specific card types are going to matter.

Also how are you connecting the monitors - VGA, DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort?
 
The standard Prodigy is ITX and ITX boards only support one GPU.

The Prodigy M is the same size and is mATX so can support SLI/Crossfire with the correct motherboard.

As to whether 1 or 2 GPU's are needed for two screens it rather depends on what you want to do with the 2 screens?

If its just internet browsing, office work, video watching then a modern integrated graphics could run 2 screens for you :).
