I know this is probably something I should Know by now, but I don't. I have Built My Pc And I cant get a better/more graphics cards right now, but I want to run a dual monitor setup using it as 1 big screen and I want to be able to play games on both. Will I be able to do this with 2gb of video ram?

Actually, AMD does allow an Eyefinity group of two. It's not a good idea for the reason you listed. OP, most people don't play games like this because the center of your screen, and hence your crosshair will be hidden in the middle where you can't see it. RTS games will be ok, racing so so, but shooters will be nearly unplayable.

What kind of games, and at what settings? 2GB is not really enough for the latest triple-A titles ultra settings, 8x MSAA, you get my point. It is enough for slightly older titles not at absolute max settings.

This is why 3 monitor setups are much more common, but for 3 monitors, 2GB VRAM is definitely is not enough.

Ok Thank you, I just Wont Get 1 or 2 monitors unless I upgrade My Graphics Card.
If I get Another gtx960, Will I Be able to run 3 displays, or would that cause a bottleneck? Will I get A performance boost aswell?

It will be lacking in new AAA games. The 960 is just behind/about the same as the 7950 which I have. When that card came out it was able to handle most things in eyefinity ok. Nothing cranked, but it would run. I expect as newer games are out now that the 7950/960 will be to slow to handle the newest things. At 5670x1080 anyways. A single 1080 will be fine.

You could game like I do. I have four screens hooked up to my 7950. My 40" TV is on the wall way off the to the right. My main monitors are 3 26" screens, but I only game on the center one. The surround monitors are just for other things, chat and music mostly. I like this as I can see who is getting ahold of me and if its worth the alt tab out of the game.
