I would like to know if dual monitors will affect my gpu performance? I plan to use one monitor for gaming and the other for browsing while playing. please help!

No noticeable difference, if you only play games on one monitor.

There was a time years ago when hooking up two monitors forced a GPU to run at higher clocks all of the time resulting in many complaints about the fan noise, but this was fixed long ago. Even modern cards will ramp up 2D clocks when three monitors are attached though.
