Ok so I've been planning on getting two extra monitors. I have the money, but don't know if I should risk buying it before actually knowing it will work.

PC Specs
CPU: Intel Core i5 4690k
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE
Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A
RAM: 8GB x 2

SO, I was wondering if I can run one monitor off of the GPU with HDMI (for gaming only). The two other monitors off of my integrated CPU graphics (for web browsing and etc); one off of HDMI as well and the other off of VGA or display port.

In most configs, you can't use both the integrated and the dedicated at the same time, when your gtx 970 is on, the integrated won't work. Also the gtx 970 has like 5 ports, of 3 different types, why not just use the ports on the GTX 970. Don't worry the web browsing on the secondary monitor won't hinder your gaming performance at all.
