If I want to have three monitor display (for gaming) and I already have a monitor (23.6", 2ms, 60Hz), I would have to purchase two more monitors with the exact descriptions I just gave correct?

I made a mistake by not purchasing a monitor with 120Hz, so it looks like this current monitor will have to be sold or whatever...

Second question is, what is the best size monitor for multiple displays?

Read the AMD faq:

It looks like all the monitors just need to be the same resolution. It also looks like at least one of them needs display port. I just mention AMD over nVidia because they are credited with having better multi-monitor support.

I wouldn't worry too much about 120hz with multi-monitor, you'd probably need a triple video card setup just to get the frame rate over 60 in most games.

If I were going multi-monitor, I'd go with 27" 1920x1080 just because it's all about filling the field of view, and trying to maintain frame rate.
