I purchased a Gigabyte GTX760 4GB card with DVI-I, DVI-D, DisplayPort, and HDMI on the card. The monitors I am looking at have 1 each VGA and DVI ports. I am confused as to what cables and connectors I need to use to connect 3 monitors.

Can I use both DVI ports direct to the monitor and then use an HDMI-to-DVI adapter for the third monitor?

I will be using the system for iRacing.
System specs are i5-3570k,8GB,ASUS P8Z77-V Pro MB, HX850 PS.
Thank you in advance.

You might be able to connect and display through 3 monitors with a cable system like that but you wont be able to use Nvidia Surround(All three monitors displaying a game) without the Active DisplayPort in use. New graphics cards can only produce 2 of the clocks that sync dvi/hdmi/vga monitors,thus the third must be DisplayPort

Do you know exactly which model GTX 760 as Gigabyte have a couple out with different connectors.

What I would do is...

...You basically answered your own question.

Use the 2 dvi ports + a HDMI to DVI cable(one end is hdmi the other dvi)

Enjoy.

Something like those, you'll be good.

It's the same process with AMD cards,only two HDMI/DVI/VGA feeds possible at once.
AMD was the first to offer a single model consumer card capable of running 3 monitors,but you still had/have to use DP.
