Hi there. I love multitasking with dual monitors and have done so lots with previous (now dead) laptops and an extra monitor via the vga. From what I have searched, dual monitors on a hackintosh seems to carry some risks of not working, booting improperly etc.
The two monitors I am budgeting myself to get are one cheap for multitasking and one expensive for gaming.

BenQ GL2760H £150

The GPU I am using is a EVGA GTX 760 SOC and the motherboard is a Gigabyte Z97X-UD7-TH

So setting these up as simply as possible:
1. Would there be any compatibility issues with this brand/model(s) of monitor?
2. Is there a particularly easy or popular way of setting these up to work? e.g. The first plugged into the gpu via hdmi and the second via dvi?
3. Is it very important to have both monitors plugged in via the same type of output?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I have my computer plugged in via my HDMI tv in the living room right now and want it in the office asap. As soon as I know what the deal is I will get the cheaper one and then spring for the second gaming monitor next month.
