What would be better one 1440p monitor or two 1080 led ips monitors

Hard to tell, it strongly depends on the purpose of the setup and on your rig.

Purpose would be gaming and 3 d designs and surfing the web, YouTube 

build is not done but it would be a rx 480 by the look of it or gtx 980

cpu would be Xeonv3 1231 e3 or a 6600k

1440p has 3,686,400 pixels

1080p has 2,073,600 x2 = 4,147,200 pixels

 

Two 1080p monitors running a game simultaneously will be harder for your system to drive than a single 1440 (although i don't know why you would want to put a game on 2 monitors). The advantage of having more pixels (and more monitors) in productivity is often a great thing. people LOVE their multimonitor setups in that regard.

 

RX 480 is not a bad choice, but with the 1060 just around the corner, I would wait on getting a 980. Its rumored to be about as good as the 980, and will probably be a bit more affordable. if nothing else its release may bring the 980's prices down a bit. As for monitor recommendations, your particular workload would probably benefit most from a multimonitor setup rather than a single 1440p monitor.

I was thinking of using the second monitor for using things while on games or while using cad instead of constantly opening and closing tabs 

 

edit: I was also considering waiting but the problem with the 1060 is the 6gb of vram, those extra 2gb are helpful as games progress

Thats what I thought. Based on that, multi monitor setup would be more ideal for you than a single higher resolution monitor.
