Three Monitor Setup on a Windows 8 PC

I have a system that I built last year. It has a Gigabyte H67MA-UD2H-B3 motherboard. I am running Windows 8. This motherboard has 1-VGA, 1-DVI, 1-HDMI and a DisplayPort. How can I get three monitors to work. I have three Acer 24inch wide screen monitors. The monitors have 1-VGA and 1-HDMI. I have the three hooked up but I can only get two to work. Currently I have the HDMI and DVI working. If I disconnect any one of those then the VGA works. Once I plug in the one I disconnected the VGA goes out and the other starts. I have not tried the displayport since I did not know my motherboard had the capability and I do not have a cable for it. I just ordered a cable so I will try it. So what am I missing? How can I get this to work? Thanks

I was looking into getting a new graphics card but I was not sure if I would be able to somehow get this to work with what my motherboard had available. Technology changes so fast that sometimes I just do not know what type of capability my hardware has to offer. As in this DisplayPort. This is something new to me. I guess the new graphics card will have to do. The USB graphics sounds intriguing but how is it on speed. I read that it is fairly slow. Keep in mind that I do not play any graphics intensive games, the USB might be fine for me. I was looking at a pci express card. What are your thoughts? I really do not want to spend to much for a card. Thanks
