So, I had a bit of an oversight when purchasing some new monitors for my PC.
Monitors:
3x Asus VS239H-P
1x Asus VG278H

System:
Asrock Extreme3 Gen3 Z68
Intel 2500K
8GB DDR3
Nvidia GTX 570 HD DS

So, it seems as if my GPU only supports dual monitors, as does the mobo. This means it is entirely possibly to run 4 monitors simultaneously, what setup would be best for preformance?

The 570 has 2x DVI-D and an HDMI, the mobo has a DVI and HDMI. I prefer a 1 over 3 setup with the monitors. The VG278H needs a DVI-D or HDMI port so cannot use the DVI on the mobo. I am not 100% sure if I need it on the 570 to take advantage of the 3D capabilities. Can someone please advise me on the best setup? 27" on top with all 23" on bottom, or 27" on bottom, with 23" on either side and above? Also, which ports for which monitors?

Your 570 will only support 2 monitors max.
you can look at getting a 2nd GTX570 and adding it in using SLI. this will give you a quite decent upgrade in performance as well as allow the use of 4 monitors (2 per card)

Or you can upgrade to a GTX 6xx series card which support 4 monitors per card.

you could indeed run 2 monitors off your HD 3000 Intergrated and the other 2 off your 570,
run the 2 monitors your most likley to game on connected to the 570 and the other 2 using the onboard.

Place them wherever you think works best for you -- it's all your preference.

You'll want whatever monitor you want to game on connected to your 570 and set as your main desktop in Windows, but other than that, it really shouldn't matter how you connect them. This is assuming you use both the i5's IGP and the 570 at the same time. You may to force the CPU's graphics on through the BIOS.
