Depends on the monitors/GPU.

What GPU are you getting, and do you already have the monitors or not?

You will most likely need DP (Display Port) cables to connect all 3, as they seem to be replacing VGA/DVI.

Jalen_3 :

What manufacturer is the GTX 1060 from, Gigabyte, Asus, MSI, EVGA?

And once you tell me that I will be about to assist you more.

That card should be able to run four monitors, what output ports does it have?

That doesn't specify which ports are on the card and which are on the motherboard so it might be best to wait for it to turn up before you rush out and get your monitors, but you can still run up to four monitors.

What about gaming?

Jalen_3 · Dec 5, 2016

Mousemonkey :

i really wanted the triple monitors for the gaming so would it work or no

Jalen_3 :

It will work, it just depends on the monitors and GPU you choose.

Your GPU will most likely have one, or multiple of either; DVI; HDMI or Display Port.

This will change depending on the GPU, do you have the exact link of the GPU you're going to purchase, in which case we can help you with the monitor you can choose.

Mousemonkey · Dec 5, 2016

Yes you can run 2D Surround but I have no idea if that card will run whatever three monitors you choose to get at a decent framerate.

Mousemonkey :

honestly i just want 3 decent gaming monitors

Mousemonkey · Dec 5, 2016

Without knowing what ports you will have on the card it's not the best idea to go and buy any monitors, Surround Vision doesn't seem to like adaptors being used in my experience.

i know its a Acer Predator G6 model #AG671070017

is pretty much all i know i wish i had more ill do further research

Jalen_3 · Dec 5, 2016

Mousemonkey :

it's weird because the site i'm suppose to get it from doesn't tell me which gpu i'm getting but I know it's either

NVIDIA® GeForce®
GTX 980 Ti

or NVIDIA® GeForce®
GTX 1060 6GB

Jalen_3 · Dec 5, 2016

Mousemonkey :

Are you buying that for $1500? It's way too expensive. For that much money you could get GTX 1080 if you build the PC yourself which will give you about 50%-70% more fps in games.
GTX 1060 may be sort of fine for 3x 1080p monitors, but it will start to struggle in modern games on max settings.

Sylvvester :

haha I know but the work site I am using allows me to pay for it monthly with affordable prices

Sylvvester · Dec 5, 2016

Unless it lets you bring the total price below $1000, you will be better off building it yourself.
Just look at this build: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-3240971/800-build-inquiry.html#18868870
Not much different in terms of specs, but so much cheaper.
