I am planning my first pc build and I’m trying to figure out if my setup will allow me to have 3 monitors while I am gaming. Also I was wondering if I am going to see decreased response time on the individually monitors due to the fact that they won’t all be plugged into a display port.

Specs

■ Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
■ EVGA GeForce GTX 780 3GB Dual FTW ACX Video Card - (DVI-I (1x), DVI-D (1x), HDMI (1x), Display-Port (1x))
■ Asus VG248QE 144Hz 24.0" Monitor(3x) - Signal Input : HDMI , DisplayPort, Dual-link DVI-D (support NVIDIA 3D Vision)
■ Asus Maximus VI Formula ATX LGA1150 Motherboard Integrated Graphics Processor -
(Multi-VGA output support : HDMI/DisplayPort ports
- Supports HDMI with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 2560 x 1600 @ 60 Hz
- Supports DisplayPort with max. resolution 4096 x 2160 @ 24 Hz / 3840 x 2160 @ 60 Hz
Supports Intel® InTru™ 3D, Quick Sync Video, Clear Video HD Technology, Insider™)

I really appreciate any help or advice you can offer, also feel free to comment on the compatibility or what u think about what I chose.

If you're expecting to actually utilize that 144Hz refresh rate at 5760x1080 on Ultra, I don't think it's doable. You -might- be able to do it on medium or high graphics settings. SLI 780s would probably bring your FPS to 45-60 average at 5760x1080 on Ultra.

But yeah, I would suggest getting another 780 at the very least. And at that, you'll need an active adapter (you need to be using three of the same connections for each GPU and monitor), so they're all using DVI-D connections.
