Each of those fans draw 0.3A. The SYS_FAN header can typically handle 1A but can range from 0.8A to 1.2A. You'd be pushing it with three fans on one header. Especially on a low end motherboard which typically won't have robust power handling ability.

I would play it safe and use an SATA powered hub. You can still get the PWM signal from the motherboard to control speed but the hub will provide the power.
