Ok i see,  Thanks :) so should i get a display port to vga? If there is one? 

there is but you are better off getting a display port hub

 

and look for HDMI to VGA converters which will be cheaper

I want to connect three of my monitors to my GPU (a 24' via hdmi, a 17' and 19' respectively both by vga using a dvi to vga converter. When I connected it in, only two of the monitors appeared, the third didn't. Any reason why? Do I have to use display port instead? Thanks :)

I like pie

yes you have to use display port

 

only one of the DVI ports support analoge signals it the one labeled DVI/VGA

 

the other is only DVI digital output

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

One of the DVI ports on the GPU is DVI-D and cant be converted to VGA.
