So I have this GPU.

Planning on buying 3 of these monitors.

(even though the website says 14ms response, I have called LG and they have stated that's from the older versions of this monitor and the current version has a 5ms response time. Also confirmed from another review of the monitor.)

What all cable/connectors will I be needing?

Can use 1 DVI output from GPU to one of the monitors.

Do I then need to use the 2 DP outputs and get DP to DVI adapaters?
Can I use 1 of the HDMI ports and then just 1 of the DP ports and an adapter?

Thanks!
 
Save yourself the trouble and get a monitor with a display port. No need to worry about adapters.

You can use one monitor on DVI, another on HDMI but the third will need an Active miniDP to DVI

The monitors should come with a DVI cable so you can get one HDMI cable and the above adapter to make all connections.

I've read (Although was older posts) that using HDMI with Eyefinity created some issues with the monitor using the HDMI? Is this not the case then?

Also I would get monitors with DP but that also raises the price a good amount. Specially for a decent one.

On some cards the DVI and the HDMI share the same ramdac on the card. Idk about this particular model but a lot of them you can't use an HDMI and a DVI at the same time for Eyefinity

Will do, I'll have to see how my desk fairs with all 3 on it. Might have to order a mount (Which I plan on doing was just going to wait a bit.)
