Don't do it man! See how little performance you gained with the second card? Just 3,500 points gain with the second card? I bet you won't gain more than 1,000 points with a third card.

If you want to waste your money, do it. But realize that tri-SLI is very inefficient and won't give you hardly any performance over the dual SLI you have now.

Why not save up for a couple GTX 295s instead?

Nice hardware/build. Ive always loved that case. One thing, I see you have your PSU mounted as a bottom intake on the floor of the case. You have the case on carpet, thats not good man. You will kill your PSU that way. I would sugest adding some casters to the case or taller feet to add more space between the bottom of the case and the carpet. Or set the case on something hard like a spare piece of tile or sumthin of the like.

Other than that. 8/10 great build bro
