I am thinking of building a new system (have been out of the scene for quite some time) and I'm considering of the following setup: dual 22" monitors on my desk and an HDMI out from the video card to my TV on the other side of the wall (distance for cable run shouldn't be more than 10 feet).

I plan on doing most of my gaming on the primary monitor, and having the second monitor with other stuff open. I would take advantage of using dual monitors on games that support it (i.e. SupCom) but I'm not really interested in "forcing the issue" (ala stretching a FPS game FOV such that I'm using both monitors).

I would like to be able to easily switch the primary output from the main monitor DVI output to the HDMI output to get computer/internet content on the TV (I would use a wireless KB/Mouse to control the computer from the livingroom).

How easy/hard would all of this be? Can I do this with a single card?

Thanks in advance!
