Can i game on one 1080p monitor whilst browsing the internet on the other?

My specs are

i7 3770
8GB
GTX 770

Will I be able to run CS GO, Skyrim and Fallout without lag? I'm only using the first monitor to game on.

If you aren't playing a second game or extending the screen to play the game across both monitors you essentially won't notice much of a performance difference at all.

Absolutely. I run a very similar setup with a GTX670 and a 3570k. The second monitor barely changes the performance of the machine at all if you are only using it for non-gaming things like web browsing, videos, voice chat or messaging apps, and things like that.
