plenty, here are a few from my favorite site:
techPowerUp :: ZOTAC GeForce GTX 460 Amp! Edition 1 GB Review :: Page 1 / 35
techPowerUp :: MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone OC 1 GB Review :: Page 1 / 35
difference is around 10-15%
you could even opt for an SSD, or just send me a cheque
^^^+1.
But honest question to op, why 'never' to overclocking?
the GTX 470 is a nono IMO, too power hungry and hot.
Go with this.AMD Phenom ii x4 955 BE - 8k
Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H - 5.5k
2*2 GB DDR3 1333MHz from Kingston/G.skill - 5k
Seagate 1TB - 3.5k
MSI HD 5850 1GB - 15.5k
LG DVD Writer - 1k
BenQ G2220HD - 8k
Cooler Master Elite 430 + 1 case Fan - 3k
Corsair VX550 - 4.7k
Total - 54.2k (Street deals should give better prices)
you might wanna look at this : GTX 460 price cuts
GTX 460 768MB : $179 (down from $199)
GTX 460 1GB : $219 (down from $229)
The GTX 460 768 just might just come down as low as 10k flat. Not worth spending 5k for the 5850 IMO, just 15-20% faster, 50% more costly.

^^ go for HD5850 OC (Sapphire Vapour X, Gigabyte SOC, etc) or go for HD5870 when price comes down a bit. hope it does in near future. DAMN !!! AMD making a lot of cash nowadays.
GTX470 is a totally bad card. even if found for 18k. also expect market price to be a bit lower on AMD samples than from Nvidia GPUs. this is the usual trend.
but you can see that vx550w will be able to handle that.
