How would I connect 4 monitors to a Sapphire r9 390?

I am only going to game on 1 monitor. I just like the others for having windows open since they are different sizes.

This is the only one I know the model of. http://www.amazon.com/BenQ-Gaming-Monitor-RL2455HM-24-Inch/dp/B007HSKSMI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1448812906&sr=8-1&keywords=benq+mlg+monitor

One of my other 3 is a 19inch tv. One is a dell 21inch and the other is a really old square dell monitor.
 
I have this configuration running and I have 4 monitors.
The Eyefinity software for Radeon will allow you to use multiple monitors for gaming, but I think it's way over rated. The spread of 3 monitors in gaming is just way too much for me. Sure it looks kewl, but you can't possibly take in the entire view when sitting at a desk. Plus when switching to 3 monitors, it really plays havoc on your regular desktop applications.
As far as the configuration I have, is as such:
2 HDMI connections. 1 goes connects through a DVI port. The adapter is to HDMI.
1 Display port connection. (This is the monitor I have for gaming @ 144hz).
1 plain DVI connection.
You can add additional monitors by Daisy chaining the display port connection to other monitors.
Only 2 of the monitor connections can be legacy connections.
