How well will a single GTX 770 4GB run 1440p?

The vram is not additive.
I think you would be worse off unless the second card also had 4gb vram.

Your current card should do very well.
I think it is premature to make any decisions until you have tested out the new monitor.

And... keep your old monitors as side monitors. It adds negligible load.
I have a 2560 x 1600 monitor and a 1920 x 1200 monitor with no problems using a GTX780 superclock.

A while back, I experimented with a second graphics card for the side monitor, and it made no difference.
In your case, with integrated motherboard graphics, you could experiment with attaching them via the motherboard outputs.

depends on the game really. GTX770 is actually a pretty powerful card. But there's no way to tell you an answer unless you tell us what game you're planning to play.

High settings will mostly be fine(on demanding games), the main bottleneck is the 256bit memory bus.

I've a gtx780 at 1440p and can play all games(bf4, crysis 3 etc.) at ultra settings, no more than 2x AA though.
So high for a 770 4gb will be fine.

You should be good.
You can save a bit with a 2gb vram card. It seems to make little performance difference.
Read this: http://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Video-Card-Performance-2GB-vs-4GB-Memory-154/

High values of AA are hard on a graphics card. With the increased density of the 2560 x 1440 resolution, you can reduce the AA without seeing any difference in quality.

You will really enjoy the bigger screen and resolution.

Sorry for the late response. I mostly play Battlefield 4, WoW, LoL(Laughable system requirements), AC 4, Heavily modded Skyrim, Bioshock Infinite, and I'm going to buy Titanfall. I know I don't have fast RAM, but will that cause a noticible performance issue in gaming? And one last question, I currently have 2 144 hertz 24" 1080p monitors, would I be able to use them both along with my 1440p or does 1 of them have to go?

Interesting article. I didn't know there were absolutely no differences in 4GDDR5 vs 2GDDR5. If I save up and SLI my current card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127747 with this one:http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=02G-P4-3771-KR. Would there be a bottleneck in the video memory?
