Right now I am running 2 gtx 970's

Running a 4k monitor, a 2k monitor, a 1080p monitor, and a 1280 x 1024 monitor all running at 60hz.

 

Recently I've been wanting to pick up a 144hz monitor so I was thinking of buying a cheap third card for my 1080 and 1024 monitor.

Anyone have any tips?

I dont want to put too much work on my GTX 970's

you can run more than 4 monitors, but not in SLI. 

 

plug your 2 ost importand monitors to the top card, the rest to the bottom card, turn SLI off.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

Yes, you can do that. You could run more than 4 on the 970s, but you'd have to disable SLI. 

If I put in a 3rd card completely unrelated such as an gt 240 would I be able to use that for other displays, or does it have to be another 970?

Nope, it can be anything.
