The GPU has the following connections:
1 x DVI-D
1 x DVI-I
1 x HDMI
2 x mini DisplayPorts

I´ve acquired 3 screens [ASUS VN247] that are not yet connected to the computer (haven´t got the cables), currently the setup is like this:
- HDMI to receiver, giving video and audio to the big screen.
- DVI-I/vga to BenQ GL2450H screen (which will become the 4th screen).

Apparently the card does not support more than 4 monitors simultaously, the current dekstop-display will therefore go to the vga port on the motherboard.

Can I connect the remaining to the mini DPs, HDMI, DVI-I/D?

Unless your BIOS allows simultaneous use of the integrated graphics adapter plus the Radeon card, you will find that the integrated one is currently disabled and therefore unusable (it's disabled automatically to prevent a resource & driver conflict with the Radeon card).
