ATi wont be releasing any High end cards soon, nVidia are way ahead in terms of high end cards

Cos dey slowar. 3850 and 3870 are both still decent if you want ATI and get a nice deal, far from being dead in the water.

No, no, no, no, no and um.. no!

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes [Rolf]Can you guess what it is yet?[/Rolf]

PSU + case love you long time, rig in case not so much. Though you could run that on the HX520 or even VX450 but I'd get at least 520 as an investment for the future and a bit of headroom for upgrades and clocking.
 
If you want to use all that memory then Vista 64-bit. But I would suggest you make sure there are drivers and patches for all the critical software and hardware you intend to use with it (all the hardware in the PC spec above should be fine, I mean scanners, printers, accounts software, programming tools etc).
