There are some boards with dual HDMI outputs. My Wife's computer has a Gigabyte A85X chipset ITX board with dual HDMI outputs, there must be others.

Do you think this would be a good deal to start with? I figure I can always upgrade the ram and put a liquid cooling setup and some other fun stuff in later just want a good starter PC build that will at least let me run 2 monitors and play some basic games. Mostly need the 2 monitors for doing RPG type stuff where I need multiple PDF's and windows open without having to constantly switch back and forth.
