You can easily run another monitor without causing any issues. The only time you have to worry is if you are trying to game on multiple monitors. Having an extra monitor just plugged in tor web/other stuff will not negatively affect anything and will work fine.

Yep it's fine, you can have 3 monitors off the GPU easy if you're only gaming off the one monitor.

I would recommend going with two IPS displays for consistency in colour reproduction and viewing angles. :)

Guys i cant find any good IPS monitors they all have like 14 MS and thats little bit too high but i found one interesting monitor http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-S27D390H-27-Inch-Screen-Monitor/dp/B00IEZGY2Q/ 

What do you think about it? It has some new technology and the viewing angles are great is it a good choice i would go with 22 inch version off that monitor which isnt on amazon but in our local shop it is.
