I'm looking at buying a 1440p 144hz monitor and i have a 1920x1080 60hz already i want to run dual monitors.
My set up i have is

Will i be able to run two screens with out it being to demanding on my computer?
Will i need to upgrade my screen situation or what should i do ?

A 970 is barely enough for 1080p 144fps on most games with settings turned down (I have this config, I'd know) You wont get the full 1440p 144hz out of the panel unless you're running less demanding E-sports games. 

 

However, running dual screens put no more strain on the GPU as one would.

1440p and @ 144hz will challenging for a 970, I would go for a 1080p 144hz monitor personally unless your planning to upgrade your gpu in the future.

In some cases gpu or windows can have problems running at two different framerates. 

 

My GTX 760 stuttered with 2x1080p 60Hz

On a stronger GPU, it shouldn't be an issue. I've personally never heard of a 970+ having issues displaying just a couple of window images or simultaneous videos.

I can run 2x1080p with no problem,
Would i be able to buy a 1060 or something cheaper and run SLI?
Also would i be able to run 1440p 144hz with only one monitor or would the problem still remain ?

sli is only for 1070's and above.

so if i get a 1070 can i sli with a 970 or will that not work at all?

You can only SLI GPUs of the  same type.

So no: you cant SLI a gtx970 with a gtx1070

No, it has to be the same gpu

Additional screens don't tax your GPU any harder (except while idle but that only affects idle power consumption). A higher resolution screen will give you lower framerates if you game on it though.

Can anyone recommend a good 1080p 144hz monitor ?

@TVwazhere is correct. You're not going to get 1440p/144Hz with a GTX 970. Maybe in older eSports titles with low settings, but nothing relatively new.
