I have always been on team red and just got 2 780's so not sure how to set this up.
I have 3 2560 x1440 monitors and 1 1080p projector. I would like to set up the monitors so that I can use them in 7680 x1440 for everything but every now and then turn on the projector to watch a movie. How do I connect these displays to vet it to work this way?

I have enough Dvi cables and 1 dual display port accessory
 
Do your monitors have display ports?

A GTX 780 has 2 DVI's, 1 DP, and 1 HDMI.

DVI 1 = Monitor 1
DVI 2 = Monitor 2
DP = Monitor 3 (used Active DP to DVI Adapter if necessary)
HDMI = Projector

For software setup 3D Settings -> Configure Surround -> check span displays. After you're done configuring that you could add the projector as an extra under Display -> Set up Multiple displays.

Keep in mind Nvidia doesn't have display profiles like AMD does so switch back and forth from Surround Span to 3 or 4 extended displays is a pita.

3 monitors on 1 card dvi/dvi/hdmi, and display port on first/second. I never used e display port since no fourth screen, but that's how I would do it.
