He has already ordered the components. In any case, we weren't interested in Nvidia cards this time around due to the aforementioned desire to later use Crossfire.

A quick glance at the site below confirms that at worse he is only looking at a marginal performance loss (~10%) in most games, and the 5830 outperforms the 460 in a few cases. It remains a powerful card and he has nothing to regret in purchasing it.
