I think that seagate only has a 16mb cache. Where as some for just a few bucks more have 32mb cache. Might be a minor performance increase to go for 32mb

With that kind of a budget I would change a few things.

1. Get a TRUE
http://www.petrastechshop.com/thulhecpucos.html

2. Tri-SLI ain't that great better off getting dual XFX 4890 and break the 1GHz Barrier (Unless youre a Fan Boy)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150359

3. This WD 640GB, more GB fo less money
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...=N82E168221362

1711.89 New Total

Maybe change the PSU? But I'm not sure for which one. But I'm sure someone will help you out.

P.S. Do you have an OS?

I would recommend you get the Corsair 1000w modular PSU, but it is quite a little more expensive.

Is the EVGA Motherboard not good enough, or is the p6T6 better? Let's just take everything I put up there out, and start from scratch, what do you guys think would be the best PC on a $1760 Budget? Best as in fastest for gaming and just doing graphic design?

Eh, with the 32bit vista, you should save money on Ram then. You can't utilize more than 3.5GB of ram. If you go vista x64, then go ram happy
