Depends on the monitors you have.  I believe you have gtx 660ti, which have 2x DVi, a HDMI and a DisplayPort connector.  If your monitors have DVI inputs then two DVI cables and a HDMI cable  with a HDMI to DVI adapter.  If the monitors have only HDMI, then 3x HDMI cables with DVI to HDMI adapters, etc.  Lots of ways to go.
 
Good Luck.

The other thing is how you're using the monitors.  If its surround gaming across all three then there's a difference how you hook then up to the sli setup.
 
Here's a link to Nvidia that explains.  Just put in your  gtx 660ti, 2X sli, 2D or 3D and Landscape.  When you look at the two cards they show, the one on the left is your top card. 
 
 
If only one is gaming and the other two for surfing, etc then you have alot od flexibility .
 
Good Luck.
