I just ordered a refurbished Dell Optiplex 7010 running Windows 7 Home Premium with a AMD Radeon HD 7570 (1024mg) graphics card that . I want to hook 2 DVI displays to this. Will I need an active or a passive displayport to DVI adapter? Any recos for what will do the jub for the least price? Any pro tips needed for setup (e.g. will I need to change the bios or anything quirky like that)?

Thanks! Any wierd setup quirks to deal with or is this going to be as easy as my current config of 2 DVI ports?

Also, any reason not to go relative cheap: this one from HP looks well rated (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHINWX2/ref=asc_df_B00PHINWX25253704/?tag=hyprod-20&creative=395033&creativeASIN=B00PHINWX2&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198062682203&hvpos=1o2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10085393117246919744&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9014400&hvtargid=pla-319814624768)
