Negative - Once u want Full HD + Ultra + AA i wouldn't hit a HD 5770 either - GTX 460/256 bit or HD 5850 (and ramp up budget by a wee bit)

^ If he is not very particular to stay at the lower end of his budget, then I dont see why not spend a little more to get better card and a monitor ???

His build would still cost around $600, which is still in the lower spectrum of his budget IMO...
