Uh, there are maybe some smaller tweaks but there is one gigantic glaring flaw - the PSU. You don't need 1000W to power one 560. You don't need 1000W to power three 560's. Also, you don't want to use a budget brand for your power supply. Something like a Corsair CX500 is closer to what you want.

That's still probably a little too much power - the CX430 should be enough.
