nvidia gtx 980 can support 4 monitors according to nvidia website http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-980/specifications, (look under display support heading, then multi monitor) so you can connect all three of your monitors to your graphic card. but please check what ports you have there before you buy your monitors. else you have to get the converter like DP to DVI or DP to HDMI as according to the nvidia website, your graphic card should have 3x DP, 1 x HDMI and 1x DVI. so if you are to get 3 x asus 24" monitor, since that monitor only has hdmi/vga ports, you have to get 2 hdmi to DP converter for the other 2 monitors

But please check yourself what ports you actually have because it differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. The ports stated in nvidia website is probably for nvidia own graphic card.
