Especially seeing as how the 560s launched the other day with 33% more performance.

Great machine. 460 is fine. You can always replace it later within a couple years if it becomes inadequate. That 460 can cover 2 years of gaming with decent if not great performance at high graphics setting 3 with medium settings and 4 with low medium settings.

But that 16Gb of RAM is an excess.

And there's that, 10-40% more iirc.

Don't get me wrong: you won't have to upgrade the other parts in a while, but what's the point of spending a ton of money on a triple/quad Crossfire board and then skimping on the graphics? At least if it was a Radeon (oh, sorry; AMD) you could actually use Crossfire in the future.

It's still the Radeon, Arclight, just the AMD Radeon instead of the ATI Radeon.

Ah, right.

See, that's why you don't mess with branding: people get confused.
