Then you will love it, everyone has their preference. either way you wont regret it.
Because 5830 is just as fast, about the same price, and I like ATI
Not to mention the 5830 only comes in a 1gb flavor on Newegg, and that GTX460 768mb will choke at very high resolutions.

Guys Guys, Don't argue about GFX card, Like I said, The computer won't be used for much gaming, well not games like crysis etc..
gtx 460 (even the 768mb version) is faster than a 5830. in some tests it's not by a whole lot, but they're both in the same price range so the 460 is the smart option here.
if you're considering my build and want a less powerful card, you could switch out the original ram/gfx card combo i listed with this one
Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, LED LCD TV, Digital Cameras and more!
includes the same set of ram along with a 5770. this switch would also save you around $50.
How much would it cost if I would downgrade the GFX card to 5770, Add windows 7, get 6-8GB RAM & a 1TB HDD?
My MAX budget would be about $1.2k & Maybe even a bit more if I can get my dad to 'help me out', But I'd rather stay around $1-1.2K
Yeah, 6-12 gigs would probably only be useful if you were future-proofing.better gpu> insane amount of ram. anything past 4 gigs is useless for the average user IMO. Not saying you cant have 6-12 gigs, just why.

And if wanted to open things faster than you can blink five times.
