Here, I have a suggestion.

1. Grab a 920, it's half that price at newegg.ca. Then, overclock it to 2.93ghz. Same exact outcome, half the price.
2. 2 280's. Three will only hurt game performance and add to heat. Optionally, and preferrably, two HD4870's. They'll be a bit cheaper and perform within 15FPS in any game you dare run.
3. You don't need a tri-sli certified PSU. Any 750W model from a reputable company will do. Having the trisli badge only increases the price.
4. For the love of god don't benchwhore. You are building a very potent gaming system, you better game that thing into the ground...I might have to kill you if you run 3dmark more than games...

well hopefully by the time I get the money, everything would become much cheaper allowing me to squeeze in the extreme instead of the 2.93.

I even think newegg.com is out also, only some cheaper Crucial Tri-Channel they have in stock.
