Yeah, you just hook all of them up to your grahpics card, and then press windows+p and select extend. Then you're good to go!

I think he means that they would act as one monitor, not 3 separate monitors that are extended (the difference between playing a full screen game on one of the 3 monitors versus spanning the game across the 3 monitors). For this, it would be eyefinity for AMD graphics, and surround for Nvidia graphics. Not too sure about integrated graphics.

aslong as your system supports 3 monitors, it should be pretty much plug and play.

A graphics card with 3 outputs for example would work fine. 

 

you can also get display port hubs which will allow you to use multiple monitors on a single Display port, but im not sure of any restrictions around that.
