I'll be using 3 different screens with a gigabyte 760 2gb. My question is would this set up work shown below?

1x 22in Vizio TV (connected with HDMI)
1x 22in Dell 60hz PC Monitor (Connected with DVI)
1x QNIX 1440p 60hz (Connected with DVI-D)

Would this allow me to use 3 monitors, all in extended display?

Yes it'll work fine and many people use mismatched monitor and don't say it's ugly, including myself. It's not like eyefinity/surround where you do want them to match.

Don't assume a tv is worse. It's the same tech and the only difference is tvs tend to be smaller res because they are usually viewed farther away but this isn't always true. There are plenty of tvs that are higher res and better color.


Don't use the TV for gaming as the color and sharpness won't be as good as the monitors. Also I guess the QNIX is a 22in.? If it's larger it's gonna be weird.
 


The QNIX is a 27inch, which will be in the middle of the two 22inch monitors. The TV will be housing Teamspeak and pandora/youtube (for music) on the right side. The Dell monitors would be for anything extra needed on the left side. QNIX 1440p monitor would obviously be the main monitor, but would this work if I used HDMI and 2x DVI?
 
I wouldn't do it. This would look horrible. Also, trying to game on 3 monitors with only a 760 and only 2GB VRAM isn't going to work well at all. You might, might, be able to play on Low settings. Stick to one monitor. In the future if you do want 3 monitor gaming then you'll need high end GPUs, at least 2 x 760 4GB. And it is best to have same monitors.
 


I would only be using the 1440p monitor for gaming, the other two would just be used as extra work space. I know a 760 2gb wont push high on 1440p, but low/med 60fps should work on most games I'll be playing.
 


As long as it's not gpu intense then yes but the QNIX with the much larger screen is just odd looking. And as I stated the color and sharpness on the TV will be bad compared to the other 2. TV's are the best for gaming vs a computer monitor.

At first I thought you wanted all 3 monitors for extended screen gaming but since that isn't the case then having different monitors is totally fine. I myself use two different ones, both have their advantages and uses. IPS is best for photos and movies, and TN panel one is best for fps gaming.
