depends what game. you have 2 GTX 970's so it will play them, how well, idk. TBH, i would just shoot for 2 1080p monitors instead of 3.

heres the benches with the reference cards:
GeForce GTX 970 SLI review - Introduction

Sorry but that is stupid advice. Have you ever tried gaming on 2 screens? You can't. Even if you can get the games to work with 2 screens, on FPS games the gun and main view point will be bang in the middle of where the 2 screens meet and you will be looking straight at the 2 screen borders. Same for racing games.

It's either 1 screen or 3 full stop.

And 2x 970s will be more than enough for 3 screens at 1920x1080 . 4GB of Vram will do the job a treat. The 970 is slightly more powerful than a 780 and 2 of them run 3 screens just fine.

thanks for advice, would 3 x 24" monitors make a difference (i.e better performance) than 3 x 27" monitors??

i dont want to get them and find out that the pc cant run the games on them lol coz i wont be able to take them back

No worries.

No, the screen size will make absolutely no difference to performance provided they are 1920x1080.

so does that mean set each monitor to 1920 x 1080 (if thats even possible, i have obviously never done more than one screen before)??
