There should not be any problems other than they might be different heights. You would need another video cable.

Hey. What monitor you get it no problem, the same size can be handy. But you're not going to want dualmonitor setup if you want to game on both, the bezel would simply be in the middle in all your games. 

I love StarCraft

Haha, I misread the end of your post and thought you were trying to tell the OP that he/she needed another Video Card, and I'm thinking "what the heck? No he/she doesn't.". It pays to read things twice or even thrice if needed. :D
