This is my graphics card

I wanted to use the mini display ports but I can't find a thing on the net that would not be mac related. I'm trying to purchase a second monitor that can support this functionality or an adapter for it.

I would appreciate the help.

Mini Display Port is just a smaller form of Display Port - the monitor/TV just needs to support regular display port.

You'll need a Mini-DP to DP cable.
okay so basically i need this
StarTech 6-Feet Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort Adapter Cable - M/M (MDP2DPMM6)
and the display port can be used in the hdmi slot of a monitor?

Not quite - the DisplayPort plug won't fit into a HDMI socket. If you are planning to get a monitor without a DisplayPort your best bet would be a Mini DisplayPort -> HDMI adapter cable [http://www.ebay.com/itm/330984165703].
