A bit of help at the low end

I have a SuperMicro X9SCM server motherboard with a Xeon processor. The only video on the board is VGA upto 1280x1024, and no audio. The board's physical PCIe slots are x8. I'd like to add some slightly better video to this to at least be able to play Youtube clips and other multimedia files directly on the server rather than just over a NAS.
[minimum out] one HDMI monitor at 1366x768 playing audio over the HDMI
[better] support for extended display on two monitors at 1366x768 each, using DisplayPort 1.2 daisy-chaining, and audio over the DP.
OS is Win 7 64bit.

Any help would be appreciated, I'm having a bit of a hard time knowing how to search for this, as most of the low end is on-board Intel HD graphics and such. I also assume the x8 slot limits the type and capabilities of the card I can use.

OK, thank you for the direction k1114. I see on NewEgg now that I can search by slot type. Seems like none of the PCIe x8 cards have DP output, which is a bit strange to me since Wikipedia says the GeForce 700 series supports DP 1.2.
