Ok, So I am needing to set up 3 32" monitors for gaming. Here's the catch, I will need 2 of the monitors setup as an extended display. They will sit side by side. The 3rd monitor will be run to another desk and will need to encompass the image from the other 2 monitors as a duplicate display. Planning on using an NVidia 770 which has 2 DVI ports, 1 HDMI and 1 Display Port. Any thoughts on how to best accomplish this? Can upgrade the card to a 970 if need be.

The two monitors together will be the main gaming station.

I would recommend using the HDMI for the second gaming monitor. Especially if your planning to do any thing above 1080p. The HDMI can handle up to 4K resolutions at 30hz. The speed is okay, but the display port can handle double that at 4k. So, after all of that I would say go with the HDMI and Display Port cable hook-ups for the main gaming monitors and the other one can be used with one of the 2 DVI ports for the spare monitor.
