I have been using my computer with two screens for a while, but I just found an old monitor in storage and I want to hook it up to the system so that I can have three. My graphics card (asus nvidia geforce gt 610) has one HDMI output, one VGA output and one DVI output. I've got the two monitors that're already hooked up are using the HDMI and the VGA. The problem is, I don't a DVI cable for the third monitor.

This leads me to my real question. Is it possible to have two monitors hooked up to my graphics card and a third hooked up to my motherboard? My CPU board is the INTEL DB75EN with integrated intel graphics.

Its an iffy thing. The presence of a graphics card might have turned off your integrated graphics, or it may not have. I would just plug it in and see if it works.
If not, its not like DVI -> HDMI or VGA adapters are expensive.
