So I am preparing to start using a 4 monitor set up with my rig. I want to clarify I am only using one monitor for games. I was wondering if having the other three monitors on but idle will affect gaming performance in any meaningful way. The resolution of my main gaming monitor is 2560x1080. two other monitors are 1920x1080 and the last monitor is 1600x900. Can anyone tell me if these other monitors will meaningfully affect performance. I'm running an i5 6600k and a GTX 1070 with 16gigs of ram.

I've done the same thing in the past and noticed negligible difference in ingame performance.

Speaking as someone with a triple monitor setup I can tell you that it does nothing to minimum when you game.
