will a single asus gtx 780 be able to run games on dual monitors? (fx-8350, 8gb 1600mhz ram)
I will be playing games on one monitor and keeping skype or twitch open in the other one. Will i be able to keep steady fps at high settings?

As far as I know (I may be wrong so please correct me if I am :)) Nvidia cards dont support dual monitor gaming you need 3 for Nvidia surround (ATI do with eyefinity). You can run some in window mode and extent over 2 but not always. You will definatly be able to game on the one and run something else on the other (internet or something).
*Edit*
I Miss read your post lol you wont have any issues there.
 


You are correct though, you can't do a combined resolution (i.e. 3840x1080) with only 2 monitors on an Nvidia card, but it will do two separate resolutions just fine (1920x1080 and 1920x1080) Nvidia cards only support combined 3 monitor combined resolutions.
