I currently have two MSI 760's in SLI, I was wondering if they would be able to support two, 2560x1440 monitors while gaming? Please help, for I am stuck in a loop

First, saying support two monitors for games is a very broad topic? What is "games"? "Minecraft on low quality has WAY different requirements than the latest DOOM on ultra settings, so you need to define your gaming goals.

That said, I doubt the 760's would handle 2 1440p monitors very well for most modern games at any decent quality and framerate.

1440p is 3,686,400 pixels, so 2 of them is 7,372,800

Now let's say 4K resolution is 8,294,400 pixels, so 7.3 million/8.2 million is 89%, meaning you are looking to push about 90% the number of pixels 4K requires, so considering even the new 1070 and 1080 can't handle some games maxed at 4K, I would doubt it.

For further reading, google 760 SLI benchmark...

For further reading, google 760 SLI benchmark. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/geforce_gtx_760_sli_review,16.html That has some 2560x1440 benchmarks, so divide the results by 2 for 2 monitors. You're only going to get old benchmarks because the cards are old, but considering it can only run a game like Metro: Last Light at 45fps at 2560x1440, then you're going to get about 20fps with 2 monitors and that's an old game. New games are going to be worse.

Not a chance at medium settings or higher.
I have 2 780tis and I can't get more than 80fps out my 1440 using no AA.
I honestly think you'll be lucky to get more than 30fps on both with low settings, even if the rest of your system is beastly. I would recommend you use 1 monitor for gaming only, so as to insure at least decent frame rates.
