Use of any video card disables the onboard video port.
It would work if you have displays that would match three of the digital outputs.
You can get around that issue by finding a gender changer adapters as needed.
Forget the VGA port. The port is analog and the resolution is too low to be useful.

"an inexpensive card to add a 3rd monitor to my PC"
It probably won't be inexpensive.
You will need a PCIe x16 video card that has three video outputs that match the displays you want to connect to your PC.
Unless you find one used on eBay or Marketplace, the price will most likely be above $350.00.
USB to HDMI adapters probably won't work.
You can spend your money and try it if you want.

Sorry, but it just doesn't work that way.
You can't just add a port. An HDMI port is part of a video card or motherboard.
USB to HDMI adapter? Probably not.
If it were actually that simple to upgrade a PC's video solution everyone would be doing it.
