Gtx460 vs. ati 5850

[kdad92]

noob question but here goes.
not a hard core gamer...i play mostly World of Warcraft...but i would like to get into photoshop and designing my own cd/dvd covers. i am building a system with a single card set up.

amd phenom II x6 1055t and ga890gpa-ud3h. this is my first build and i wanted a gpu that wore more than satify my initial needs so i did lots of research a =nd settled on a 5850. to be honest i never even looked at an Nvidia card. so for what i want to do, how will a gtx 460 work for me? i just realized its about 100 bucks cheaper than the 5850 so yes, now im interested...lol

If you can overclock the card safely, it can perform just as well as the 5850. A gtx 460 would easily play world of warcraft and it should be able to do design stuff pretty easily
