I'm currently running the rig in my sig

i5 4430+MSI B85M-P33 with a 660ti

I'd like to figure out how to run duel monitors, one off the GPU and another off of the iGPU. I can't seem to figure it out because the BIOS is difficult to say the least.

I'm running a i5 4670 and GTX760 with dual monitors off the GTX760. Since the 660ti is pretty similar to the 760, why don't you do the same?

1. Why not just use the 660 Ti for both?
2. With Windows 7 or newer, you typically plug the 2nd monitor in, go to display settings, and hit the detect button. If IGP is not explicitly disabled, that usually works for a 3rd monitor, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work with a 2nd.

Enable iGPU in the bios and make sure you have the Intel HD Graphics drivers installed.

Running three monitors, two off the video card and the other off of my 3770K.

The new monitor I am getting doesn't have HDMI or displayport.

I don't have the right converter to run two off of the GPU.
