So let me give you a bit of context. My GPU has 1 HDMI port and several display ports. I want to do a dual monitor setup but both the monitors don't have display port. Can I use a Display Port male to HDMI female adapter? Please let me know.

Yes

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Yes, but if you ever decide to use more than two, you'll need active adapters. I run four monitors daily myself.

Yes, DP can be converted to HDMI or even DVI.  I've had to do this for some of the multi-monitor setups here at work, as well as to get 4K 60Hz from a home media PC to a 4K TV (the PC's HDMI port only supported 30Hz at 4K), and it's always worked very well with no issues.
