Do you need the audio in the HDMI? If not, just get a DVI-HDMI cable.
The GA-H87N has two, but it's mini-ITX.

Thanks guys so much for the fast replies!
For at least 1 of the HDMI I need audio as it goes to TV.
So:
My goal is to run 2 monitors and connect the third to TV.
So the monitors are both HDMI but also DVI. So I need:
1 HDMI for TV
1 DVI for other monitor
1 HDMI for 1 monitor (or can be a 2nd DVI)
Bonus: I have an old monitor I want to use till I get new HDMI monitor so I'll get a vga to dvi adapter but bonus if the mobo has vga too.
Im trying to go cheap thats why im going with AMD APU so i dont have to invest in a gfx card for my photo editing, movies, youtube video making, etc (non-gamer here)

Picking up something like a 6570 would probably be cheaper than getting a pricey board with more features. Run some displays off the dGPU, and one off the iGPU.
I don't even know if you can run three DVI-type displays off an APU. Given their dedicated cards couldn't until recently, I doubt it (FYI: HDMI uses the same underlying tech as DVI, and counts as DVI-type).

Ah thanks someone. The APU description says it can run up to 3 monitors, i read somewhere someone said it could go up to 4
i was just wondering now about the asrock bios settings for the hdmi in port, can maybe we reverse it in bios?

I doubt it. It's only a passthrough port (you can't do anything with the data other than send it to the other port).
Just found a board with a DVI-D port and two HDMIs, but it's a high-end mini ITX. I'd say they can run three DVI-type screens, but it'd probably be cheaper to get a low end board and a dGPU.

Might have been a different board I was looking at earlier, but that one's probably similar.
