A used or refurbished 58xx card for only a little bit more will get you allot higher hash rates.  They sell broken ones even for 30-50 dollars sometimes and they hold their value more than any other cards.  A 5770 = a 6770 I think, there ok but the 58xx ones are cheap beasts.

I'm not bias towards amd or Intel or anything, Intel seems a little better for low dollar cpu's lately.  I think this is a deal that wont be around for long that I'm about to post, you can use PCI extenders if you end up getting more cards but it has one GPU slot.

about $60 for the 3 parts, a full atx motherboard.  I would buy it now if I had the money.
