As the titles suggests, I might be in a bit of a pickle. I want to get a proper second monitor for streaming as I'm using an awful tablet at the moment but I don't want to effect my primary monitors GSYNC ability either. Is it possible to get a cheap second monitor just for twitch chat and OBS etc whilst maintaining full screen or GSYNC windowed support on the primary display?

nVidia claim gsync is supported in windowed/borderless windows modes: http://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/articles/g-sync-gets-even-better
However, a quick Google suggests an almost 50/50 split of some people saying it works fine with two monitors, and some people having issues.

I use two monitors, one gsync (1440/144) and one standard (1080/120) and have no issues playing games in full screen mode, gsync works perfectly as usual, slave monitor sits and does what it needs to do. Both monitors connected to the same card (980Ti) one over dp the other over dvi. Border less should work fine also, gsync is now 'always on' even at desktop so everything displayed on the desktop should sync too.
Yes you can, I do it myself and run most games in Borderless Windowed or in Fullscreen mode with G-Sync.

I use two monitors (Acer X34 3440x1440 and a Dell 1920x1200), the Dell isn't gsync and have no issues.
Have had no issues with a mini HDMI panel hooked up for diagnostics beside my G-SYNC panel (aside from 1-2 driver versions resulted in some FPS issues) - though that mini panel doesn't even support HDCP which causes some video playback problems doh.
