3rd monitor

Ive got a GT430 which I use to run 2 displays for Sonar. I would like to run a 3rd display, namely my HD TV, so I can stream tv etc to it. Could I use the onboard graphics hdmi output to run this independently at the same time as the others? (if that makes sense) Or will a graphics card and on board graphics not play nicely together? I am clueless on these matters, would appreciate your help.
 
Cheers

With a Z87 chip, yes you can do that and it is explicitly supported by Intel. Unless your board has something strange in its design, it'll work just fine.
