I'm finally done building my first computer and downloading updates from windows, updating drivers, etc... Went to screen resolution and it can't detect my second monitor. Primary monitor is connected to my graphics card through a DVI-I cable and I'm trying to do the same thing for my motherboard and second monitor but it can't seem to be detected. Please Help!

Have you told Windows to extend your desktop to the second monitor?

No I just installed some Intel Drivers and that seemed to work! Thanks for the input anyway!
