SLI with Quad Monitors

[Paranoid Gamer]

How do I connect my 3 AOC G2460PG and one AOC I2757Fh to my SLI EVGA GTX 980 Classified in a quad setup (3 Monitors in a row, and One monitor at the top)?

The 3 AOC monitors can only be connected via Display Port , and each of the graphics card only have 1 DisplayPort, with total of 2 DisplayPort (one DisplayPort short).

I plan to use the 3 AOC monitors for gaming with extended display, while the top monitor for other stuff while I'm playing (no more alt-tabbing). Is that even possible?

GTX 980 - http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-980/specifications - Dual Link DVI-I, HDMI 2.0, 3x DisplayPort 1.2

AOC G2460PG - http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/g2460pg - Display Port|USB 3.0 (2x)|USB 2.0 (2x with hub charger)

AOC I2757Fh - http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/i2757fh - HDMI , D-Sub

So 3 of DP to DP and one of HDMI to HDMI.

Not the reference GTX 980 Card, but the EVGA GTX 980 Classified --- which has different I/O
It only has 1 DisplayPort, 1 DVI-D, 1 DVI-I, and 1 HDMI

Then you'll have to use adapters.

DVI-I/VGA to D-sub plus

You might need to use a hub - http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=200-DP-1301-L1

Ok, I need the hub for the 3 AOC G2460PG's, and the GPU has a HDMI port, so I really won't need the adapter for the
AOC I2757Fh.

After I plugged in everything, what do I do next? How do I configure the 3 monitors as Extended Display, and seperate the top monitor so that I no longer need to alt-tab when playing games (is this possible)?

Plug everything in and proceed as normal. Post a new thread if you get stuck.
