tbh, you can get a pretty amazing core i7 build for that kind of money. imo, skip the amd and go straight for i7.

you might pay more for the keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a windows install, but i think you will be much happier.

How big is the difference (performance difference)Price needs to stay below a $1000

its pretty immense difference. The 4850 is cheap at 130 USD only 40 bucks more than the 4830. The 4850 will be able to max out all ur games with 40-50 fps average easy. Crysis it can run on high but expect more like 20-30 fps.
 
64 bit Vista

Be careful with the 64 bit vista, it has major compatability issues with some older software. The 32 bit is good but can only recognize up to 3.75 of your RAM. Just keep it in mind.
