Wow, never mind. I'm behind the times. I see now that PCI-E x 1 slots are definitely not compatible with the type of graphics cards I would want to put in. | seriously I wouldn't have mentioned it if it wasn't relevant, but it sounds like you've got it figured now.
TBH any two newer cards from the same manuf would be fine. I've even run two different cards (one ati one nvidia) w/o issues but you are always better off sticking with the same manuf if you can.
IMO if you are doing any gaming and still want the multi monitor support but don't want to buy two high end cards for an sli setup then buy one high end card (the best one you can afford) and then throw in a low end cheaper card for the extra monitors. You don't need a high end gpu just to run app on the secondary set of monitors
