So i currently have a 144hz monitor and was looking at getting a 240hz monitor, If i use the 144hz as a 2nd monitor will i have any issues running at 240hz on the first monitor?

Hello mate.

Graphics card?
Monitors?
Use case?

Unless there’s some outlier answer to the above, should be fine.

May I ask why you need a high refresh rate monitor for desktop use? Were I you I’d just get a decent 60hz IPS for general desktop use, save yourself some moolah to add to the new GPU fund.

Some people like more Hz and I can more than understand why.

In the answer to the op, I do not foresee any problems.

I have used 120Hz and 75Hz dual monitor for gaming and having something else running on other display with no issue.

Unless some screwed up driver issue, I see no problems.

Go at it and enjoy 240Hz

4000 hours in csgo if you have never played a game like it going even from 60hz to 144hz is massive, it is unplayable in 60hz in my opinion

I was under the impression op wanted the monitor for general use as he already had a hrr monitor.

Exactly this. I went from 144hz to 240hz recently. Personally not a huge difference but definitely reduced blur.
