so im looking at getting new monitors (link below) and so i did a bit of studying and heard that display ports are the more superior ones compared to the rest. while i was researching it i found you can daisy chain them but im curious as to how?

I was thinking "oh i just need two display port cables, one to connect both moniors and the 2nd to connect ONE monitor to my gpu." then i realized the monitors each have only one display port and my GTX 780 only has one display port.

can someone explain what i need to daisy chain them (and how) or if its easier just to hook one up using a dvi (that way i still get 144hz or 120hz) and the other with display port.

While displayport supports daisy chaining, very few monitors have started to impliment it yet. It works as you think, plug 1 monitor into the PC, and then the 2nd monitor into the first, 3rd into the second, etc. Problem is finding a monitor with the ports, they are rare.
