I have a question regarding a gigabyte 270x oc 4gb card. I currently have 3 displays plugged in two via DVI one via HDMI to DVI and that leaves one DisplayPort plug. Id like to run a 4th display (my 47" tv) but unsure on what cable or adapter to buy. i would love to keep it simple with a passive dp to hdmi 15ft cable but not sure if it will work for this application or if I have to run an active DP to HDMI adapter then a HDMI to HDMI cable.

What CPU do you have? If it has integrated graphics you could just use the VGA on your motherboard? Some TV's have a VGA input so you could just get a 15ft VGA to VGA. Or VGA to hdmi if you would prefer that.
If you do decide to use the on board graphics you'll probably have to enable the use of Discrete graphics and integrate graphics at the same time.
