I bought a new graphics card (Gigabyte R9 280x) with an HDMI, DVI and two mini displayports.
I have three Asus monitors with an HDMI and DVI port on each (all same model).
I know my build is powerful enough to support all three monitors, I just want to know exactly how I can connect them to the PC as to use them all as a triple monitor setup.
Any help is much appreciated :)

One of your three monitors has to connect by way of displayPort.

Because your monitors don't have a displayPort connection, you have to get an active converter (miniDP to DVI):

you will need an ACTIVE mini display port to HDMI or DVI to connect your third monitor. I have linked one of each below from Amazon :)

Thanks for the rapid responses, I appreciate it!

So could you provide a list of cables and adapters I need in total to make it possible?

Pick either of the adapters I listed, then any DVI or HDMI cable. Normally the monitor woudl come with cables so check inside the boxes before ordering new cables. If you dont have any cables, just buy 2 HDMI and one DVI cables from amazon along with the second adapter (MDP to HDMI)
