I have this computer...
iBUYPOWER AMD FX-Series 16GB DDR3 2TB HDD Capacity Desktop PC Windows 8 Gamer Extreme NE635FX
I currently have two monitors connected to it. I bought a third one and plugged it in through the displayport. It didn't work because of from what I can gather I only have two outputs (1 HDMI 1DVI) I was thinking of upgrading my video card to one that can support three monitors, but I will settle if their is a setup that will not require that.

Notes: I use this computer for gaming, and my knowledge on computers is not super good so an answer that is not complex is appreciated. I have also upgraded the RAM to 32gb (Not sure if its important but I will say it anyway) The monitors are one ASUS VS Series VS238H-P Black 23" 2ms HDMI LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 50,000,000:1 and two (I dont know exactly what they are called because I bought them at best buy) they both have an HDMI, VGA on them.

For triple 1080p I would recommend getting something along the lines of the GTX 780. What kind of games are you playing?

This would allow you to run HDMI, DVI-I, DVI-D from a single card. These cards are rated to up to 4 monitors, so you should be ok. Gaming with 3 monitors will really draw down your FPS in game, hence my recommendation on a pretty potent card.

The GTX 780 and Ti variants have 4 options: DVI-D, DVI-I, HDMI, and Display Port so he should be ok.
