In the previous thread, you were suggested a few GPUs. The new GTX 760 and 770, for sure. You could also consider the Radeon HD7870 XT or HD7950 instead of the current HD7970.
Any of these 4 GPUs can handle 3 displays.
It is very important that you also consider the types of connections your displays use (VGA, DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI). For 3 displays, you need to use 3 digital connections (DVI, DisplayPort, or HDMI) and one of those must use an Active DisplayPort adapter. You don't want to use any VGA ports or adapters.

Consider doing this...build your base system with the desired GPU to support 3 displays and buy the new displays later (when you save the money to do so).
You really don't want to use a bunch of adapters to drive VGA only displays. Picture quality and performance are likely to be poor.
