Multiple vga Monitors on a Msi gtx 970

[Berkan]

Hi i want to build a new pc and as monitor i want to buy 3x LG 22M35A monitors but the only thing they have is vga and as a gpu im choosing the Msi Gtx 970 the card has no vga. Whats the best solution for this? a Splitter or dvi to vga ? can anybody help me pls

A splitter will not work - a VGA splitter can only duplicate two monitors, it cannot run two independent displays. DVI to VGA is the best way to go.

The 970 will only support 1 vga monitor with a dvi-I to vga adapter. A splitter will just clone the displays. You would need active digital to analog converters for the other 2. Your best option since you haven't bought the displays is to get monitors with digital inputs.

I would also buy monitors with digital inputs - all modern day ones have DVI.

Since its 2015, the best solution is to not use VGA at all. But I won't question your choice to buy those monitors, but rather, provide a solution to make your system work together.

Yes, you can use VGA adapters, or certain VGA cables to make this setup work.

Adapter Cable

Splitter

Adapter

You can get away with different combinations of these to complete your triple monitor setup.

They cost alot more and i have a budget

Just want to also mention, that there are HDMI to VGA adapters, and DP to VGA ones as well. You might want to consider those, since the video card doesn't have 3 DVI ports.

I hope you have not yet installed with LG's monitor,you can find 24inchi thin like dell u2414h aka dp 1.2 suppport or eizo FORIS 2434,then change your gpu to gigabyte gtx 970 via 3x DP/Dual-link DVI-I / DVI-D / HDMI.I also plan I was looking for a 120hz 24inchi.aka low MS.
