Either the Nvidia 660 or above or 760 or about will run 3 monitors. If your going to game on across all 3 you may need to consider SLI with either 670 or 770 or better.

looking as if you are asking for gaming, go with GTX 780ti SLI set up. The rest would depend on the resolution of your monitors.

No gaming, it will just be to multi tasking across the three screens. My overall goal is to run three 32" monitors. I work with 3D drafting on CAD, photography, video editing, reading large .pdf files, writing long documents and streaming multiple websites and music at the same time. (Well maybe not all of that at the same time...) So I want to run three monitors to up my working space and productivity. Maybe even upgrade to more monitors in the future.

Thanks for your input. I've been looking at several forums and still figuring all this out before I put out and build a nice set up.

Is SLI is only needed to run the display across all three screens?

Now the 760 comes with One Dual Link DVI-I, One Dual Link DVI-D, One HDMI, One DisplayPort and each monitor comes, generally, with an HDMI input, will I have to get converters to run everything to an HDMI input? Would this effect the resolution of each output/screen?
Is there any benefit or need to get two of the 760's?

Whenever you talking about multi monitor systems there are two display modes. Combined resolution and extended desktop. Combined resolution mode (either Nvidia surround or AMD eyefinity) combines the resolution of the monitors and treats them as a single display. For what your describing this is not the mode for you. You want to run extended desktop. Extended desktop will make it easier for you two keep programs isolated to a single screen.

Yes you will need a DVI-HDMI adapter if you want to run all HDMI. No it will not effect screen/resolution unless your are running higher then 1080p. Higher then 1080p will require dual link DVI or Display port.

Thanks. So will having another graphics card mean I can extend the desktop to an additional 3?

no another gpu is usually to add more power if your gaming to play at max settings. having more vram will help you scale uour desktop to more monitors like a 770 4gb

Yes having another gpu will give you more monitors for extended desktop. If all you need is to run six displays you could go with 2 of these

you will need a mini hdmi to hdmi adapter and well as 2x dvi to hdmi but those aren't all that expensive.
