Some more information would be needed to answer your question. What types of applications or games would you be running on the monitors? A single Titan X does have 3 displayports which would allow you to run three of the mentioned monitors, however without knowing what types of things you would be doing it is hard to say if I would recommend running three of a single Titan X.

Any graphics card with enough outputs can display 3 monitors. It depends on what you are wanting to achieve. A couple of spreadsheets and an browser all full screen will be no problem.
If you want an intensive game like the Witcher 3 across 3 monitors you need to start thinking about the resolution required. As a basic example.
3x 1920 x 1080 = 6220800 Pixels
4k - 3840 X 2160 = 8294400 Pixels

If your GPU can run a program at 4k which you can find benchmarks for a Titan all over the place for various games you can almost certainly run 3 way 1080p.
You won't be running 3x4k displays in intensive games with any current hardware though.

So just go with 2-3 way SLI with 980/980Tis instead of two titans?

Seeing as Titans represent the poorest dollar/performance ratio available you can hardly not recommend any other setup.
Honestly I would be wiping out dreams of 3x4k displays for gaming at the moment. For a single 4k display it seems your best options as a value standpoint would be:
295x2 (Good 4K)($550)- SLI980's(Good+ 4K)($1060) - Titan X (Good- 4K)($1050) - SLI Titan X's(Best 4K right now)($2100).

I would recommend steering away from more than dual card setup. All the problem with SLI/ Crossfire get a lot worse with more cards and the extra performance gained per card is minimal.

Very few people have more than 2 GPU's and as such AMD/Nvidia spend very little time optimising for those setups.

Alright thanks. I'll go with two-way SLI 980TIs since they are basically Titan X's with 6GB of vram and cheaper, and I'll spend the rest of the money on a OS, New Mic, and two fan controllers. I'll probally change out the monitor for its "little brother" it's is 2560X1080P and I think the graphic cards will be able to handle two of them.

I push (3) 28" Samsung UHD with one Titan X, and I see no issues. I keep seeing "it's not going to work, and must have multiple TX in SLI"
but my setup seems to work. I am going Liquid on the Titan as the fan has to be at 60% or higher when gaming in span/surround mode... I think, and could be wrong that the PhysX combos the GPU with the CPU... That said I do run a Xeon 12 core and 32GB of DDR4

Battle Field 4 on Ultra works, I usually bring it down to High and see almost no difference other than cooler temps...

Burnout Paradise barely gets above 60 when playing... Hope this helps

The reason people say it won't work is because many games only get around 40 FPS at 4K (3840x2160 resolution) on a single monitor without turning all the settings down quite a bit. You can't expect to play graphically demanding games on 3 4K monitors (11,520x2160 resolution) on a single card. I wouldn't even expect it with multiple cards in SLI at this point.

Edit: A 980 Ti gets 31 FPS in 4K on a 980 Ti in Rise of the Tomb Raider. A Titan X wouldn't have a dream of playing that game on 2 or 3 4K monitors.
