The main thing is the radon 7870, which has dvi,hdmi and 2x display port (mini).

The monitor I have currently, and wish to get a second of is a Samsung s23a350h:

(Discontinued but I know someone selling one second hand)

They have 1x hdmi in and 1x rgb in.

-------

How would I set this up?
Would 1x monitor connected by hdmi and 1x connected by hdmi with an mDP adaptor work?

Thanks.

The cable you suggested should work, although I've no experience in single cables that do the conversion themselves.
