Get an ATI card. The 5870 is pretty much a GTX 480 or an ATI 5970 which is a lot better.

ATI cards have mini-displayport which can drive an apple monitor. The alternative would be buying an active min-displayport to DVI adapter for $40. Quite expensive for just an adapter so ATI cards are probably a better bet for your money.

Im also surprised you didn't get a 5970 since you are getting such an awesome computer.
The Mac displays are very nice IPS panels.

According to these two reviews. The GTX 480 actually produces more heat and consumes more power than the 5970.
