7750 kuma @ 64.99
Asus M3A78-CM @ 74.99 but in my country I can get this @ $68.00
Kingston 4GB (2 x 2GB) @ 47.99
Radeon hd 4670 @ 69.99

I’m planning to get POWERCOLOR PCS AX4670 1GBK3-P Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit GDDR3 cause it is 1GB a little bit higher 84.99 but it is cheap to it’s 1GB competitor.

Looks like a good budget build. I'd look at getting a 4770, though. It competes with the 4850 and has very low power consumption due to it's 40nm die. It's a little more expensive, but it would definitely be worth the extra $20-$30, in my opinion.

The 1GB 4670 won't be much better than the 512mb unless you're playing at big (1680x1050 or above) resolutions.

Yes, and you need an efficient PSU if you want to save electricity.

^+1. Preferably a quality (Corsair,Antec,etc) 80+ PSU.

actually hd 4770 is my first choice and to clear things up i need 250pcs. of hd 4770. the reason why i go to hd 4670 is the availability of stock. no one can provide with this quantity. I will open my internet gaming café soon maybe next month.

Hmmm ya single-digit efficiency differences will be important. I was wondering about the 780V choice, but that makes sense now.

You would have to check with Asus and make sure the board supports it, but I would think a Regor the better choice:

Here is an inexpensive PSU recommendation:

Although maybe you already have your PSUs.

what about an Ion based PC?

they're dirt cheap and the money you save on electricity, will probably counter the cost of the more expensive mini-itx cases.

your right i think that procesor is better but buying in bulk would cost a lot, i think the only battleneck in this build is the video card. if only hd 4770 is avaible. all latest games is playable at this resolution. but thanks for the comment. the psu i will try to research on that one.
