I'm going to be getting a GTX 760 but am having a really hard time understanding what I will have to do in order to set up my monitors. I am going to be using two monitors at first but may add a third in the future. I know that the 760's come with 2 DVI ports. One is DVI-I and the other DVI-D (if that matters) and a HDMI port. So can I just plug my first two monitors into the DVI slots on the graphics card or will them being different types of DVI ports make a difference? And how would I go about adding a third monitor in the future? Use an adapter or run the third via HDMI?
Also I was just looking around on the forum to see if i could find any help and ran into that I may need a 4GB card over a 2GB card because of the extra monitors. Is this true? I will probably go SLI in the future or upgrade but for now a single 760 is all I'm going with.
Thank you for any help.

getting the 4GB card is better because in SLI the system doesn't recognize all of the combined memory. Also you can do just what you said, connect 2 monitors with the DVI ports and one with an HDMI adapter to HDMI, or you could get mini display port adapters. whatever suits you.

What exactly are mini display port adapters? Tried looking it up but it only showed apple products.
