Hi so I am wanting to get 2 monitors and I was just wounding if the R9 280x by it self would be able to support two Acer K242HL 24in LED Widescreen Monitor? Thanks guys!

For gaming?

Or just used for browsing etc?

For gaming I wouldn't recommend that, you'll have a horrible bezel in the middle.

I don't know a single person that games on dual screens- if you have two screen you most likely game on one and have skype/music/internet open on the other

No, the second one would be used for browsing the web etc.

If so, you're fine. It's great to have two monitors.
