You sure can. Although you might need an active displayport adapter, I am not sure.

Do you plan to game on all three at once? If so, there will definitely be a big performance hit. Otherwise it should have very little effect.

smeezekitty to answer your question yes i did plan on having all 3 running a game at the the same time. But if that is not gonna work out i guess i will have to rethink my strategy unfortunately i lack the funds for another vid card at this point in time.

Yeah you will need to crank the settings down significantly. It will probably cut your framerate in half or worse.

If you have options please feel free to link them but from what i've seen the majority of 1440p or 1600p monitors i have seen are either low priced but south korean made which i do not feel comfortable buying incase something is defective i cant imagine returning it is easy or name brand such as Dell, LG, etc and twice as much

"Some korean brand" just sounds racist, it really doesn't matter where it's from. What you should have said is some no name company. Though they are actually samsung made displays.
