Is this a good enough graphics card to run 2 monitors

I haven't bought my parts yet because I want to make sure everything will work properly before I buy them all together.

My list at the minute is:

AMD FX6300 Black Edition Hex-core CPU
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 motherboard
Western Digital 1TB internal Hard Drive - Caviar Blue (3.5 inch)
Asus DRW-24B5ST 24x Internal SATA DVD Drive
Kingston HyperX Genesis DDR3 1600MHz CL9 8GB DIMM Memory Module
OCZ OCZ-CXS500W-UK CoreXStream Series 500W Power Supply
Sapphire 11200-07-20G Graphics Card (2GB, HD7850, GDDR5)
BitFenix Merc Alpha Midi Tower Chassis

This all totals to around £530 which I am quite pleased with
I believe that the HD 7850 provides decent value for money so I was wondering if this system so far would be able to run 2 monitors?

Thanks in advance
 
It can run 2 monitors just fine, but the question is are you going to be using Eyefinity to be gaming on both at the same time? If so it might suffer performance in some games. If you're just doing one monitor you'll have no problems with almost all games on max. I have that same card and use a 20 inch widescreen monitor and a fullscreen 17 inch monitor with no trouble. I game on the bigger one.
 
I don't plan to play any of the newest games. Maybe a bit of BF2 or Far Cry. It will mainly be for CAD and Photoshop.
