Currently I connect my Sony Bravia 32" TV to my PC (CPU). Now, I want to connect a PC Monitor too at the same time. How can I do this?

I assume when you say PC you are talking about a desktop computer
Your PC needs to have a graphics card or integrated graphics that supports dual display
If not you can either buy a graphics card that does or buy one these Matrox DualHead2Go boxes that will allow you to extend your desktop across your TV and the monitor

Iam not good in electronics/pc stuff, so please bear with my questions. How to check which graphics card i need to buy. Is there a video card which support HDMI?

Yes, all new AMD and Nvida cards have HDMI support. uses websites such as www.tomshardware.com or www.anandtech.com to get info on graphics cards
