Hi guys,

I'm building my first PC and wanted to run a dual monitor setup with a TV being the third monitor. Is this possible? Are there any GPU's out there that can handle two DVI out's and an HDMI out all at the same time?

yes it can be done most GTX 400 series or better or Raedeon HD 6000 series or better will run them fine ? But eyefinity with AMD is the best option

Almost never when it comes to AMD, because AMD would need to use at least one displayport for triple monitors. So if you wanted to use AMD, you'd need to get an adapter to convert from displayport (or minidisplayport) to either DVI or HDMI.

I'm not sure if the most recent 600 series Nvidia cards have a limitation like this, but they include a displayport on the card.

But there are special AMD cards with the equivalent of an adapter built-in, but I think they cost more than just buying a regular AMD card + adapter.
