I would pick A cause B 3 way sli doesn't scale nicely and C no need for a 5960x (5930k is already a beast)

Spoiler

A 100%, I think the sweet spot for sli/crossfire is 2 cards as the scaling just isn't worth it once you get to 3 in most cases, More cards is more power, noise and heat, as Linus always says 1 powerful singular card is better than two weaker cards, or in your case 2 powerful cards is better than 3 good but not quite as good cards
