If all you need is extended desktop, which is what it sounds like from your description, then your options are more flexible since you can use two separate video cards to drive the monitors. This will work great for your productivity needs but will only allow you to game on one. If you do want Eyefinity/Surround, you need either one powerful AMD card or Nvidia SLI.
If you need CUDA but are okay with extended desktop, you can get any 560 or 560 TI, and use that and your old 9800. This will let you do extended desktop only.
If you don't care about CUDA, you can get an AMD 6870 or 6950 and drive all three monitors from it (or combine with 9800 to take some load off the AMD card). If you go the AMD-only route then you can do extended or Eyefinity, which will leave you with the option of gaming on all three if you decide to do so at some point. Do note that if you think you may game on all three at some point, you probably should not look at anything less than 6950 2GB (more expensive than 1GB model). If you do buy the 6950 2GB, with the intention of Eyefinity gaming, this will not be enough to play some of the newer games on high settings. However, you did mention that that's not a problem.
