Q: Faulty graphics card

Hello, I have a mid 2010 21.5 (MC508LL/A) imac that has a bad graphics card. I had this confirmed by an Apple authorized repair shop. I got an estimate of $643.00 for the repair which I cannot do at this time. I heard you can connect a second monitor to the Mac if you want to run two monitors at the same time. My question is, can I buy the correct cable to connect another monitor and use that monitor as my main monitor until i can afford the repair, or does the graphics card in the Mac have to be good to run the second monitor? I am not very tech savvy so I hope this question doesn't sound too ridiculous!!

Thanks in advance for any input.
