The HD5670 is DX11 while the 9800GT and HD4770 are DX10. DX11 compatibility is nice but when buying a card for gaming on a budget price vs performance should be your main concern.
The 9800GT comes in two different varieties. There are models that have an external 6-pin power connector and ones that do not. The cards without one are also slightly under clocked and should be about on par with the HD5670 in performance while the ones with the power connector are roughly 10% faster. The HD4770 is the best card you listed however so it is the way to go IMO.
Here is a performance chart low resolutions that includes those cards:

The 9800GT listed above is the faster version with the external power connector.
 
Buying a 4770 isn't the best option, they have their fair share of problems like any other card except that they are rather rare and finding a second for crossfire or repair is going to be a difficult challenge. I own two 9800gt (with 6 pin and one 55nm and the other 65nm) they are still decent but in single they are going to leave you wanting. The 9800gt with the power connector are better overclockers despite the extra power consumption and heat are better cards and are far better cards than the GT240 and the GT430. The 5670 is a easy card to manage and doesn't use much power and performance is decent but for the price they are high.
 

The HD4770 is the fastest card he listed and very power efficient. There is no reason not to get one. Just because you have a certain card doesn't make it the best choice.

Yes but i don't know if ~25$ are justified over the HD 4850... (check malmental's link to the HD 4770 'bout the pricing)
 

You mean the link he found at random that almost definitely has nothing to do with the cost of these cards for the person asking the question?
 
How do I figure what? We still have no real idea where this guy is located except that it is very unlikely to be in the US. Comparing prices on the HD4770 and HD4850 in the US and giving advice based on such is probably less useful to the OP than saying nothing.
As for hating... you are the one WTFing at common sense and making accusations. Chill.

im Indonesian but living in Singapore right now...
for VGA my budget about $99.50 - $101.50 ... :(
i have spend all my money for motherboard GA-X58A-UD7, i7 processor, 2x2GB DDR 3 Visipro ram, 1 TB Seagate Hard disk, a weird sound system, 14" samsung LCD monitor, a weird table, a weird stabilizer, VENOM RX Casing, PSU Simbadda 570watt, and ICA UPS. total about $1600.. and i forgot about the VGA card...
someone say..u should choose 9800GT..(it more powerfull for heavy games and directx 11 is looks like a bad dream if u use the HD)

sorry for my poor english..idc about my language exactly
 
If the HD4770 is in your price range it is still the best of the cards you mentioned.
The question about your RAM is a good one. Your motherboard and processor are LGA 1366. Optimally LGA 1366 uses triple channel ram so you should try to get another 2gb when you can.
