this is my set up using the scoundrel follower sheet DPS is 508k+ ( stack the scroundrel up with freeze chance and attack speed dont worry about his dmg output ) http://us.battle.net/d3/en/profile/HiggsBoson-1551/hero/11957669 I farm Act1 mp8 easily and if I go slow and careful mp10 is very doable
as for the 200m budget spent on archon build I would say it wont even get u a single piece of gear
To farm MP 9 /10 efficiently in archon you need a much much larger budget than that. For those levels you need to focus on high DPS and EHP pieces. I have 505K DPS with a Life Steal Weapon and MP 9 Acts 1 and 2 are a breeze due to my EHP. Loroese has a great thread lower down on EHP and DPS requirements for MP Levels. Basically, you can't gimp your self on either.
I am not sure about 20 Billion, but your 200 Million would not cut it.
MP10 as CMWW with 200m is definitely possible, though it's just a question as to how fast you kill things.
Archon at MP10, as others said, is not possible with 200m.
On the other hand, I'd like to encourage you to chose wisely as to what playstyle you prefer, and not what brings you to the highest MP level. CMWW is crazy button smashing on high MP levels, but can get very tiring and you may potentially need a new keyboard every week (just kidding). Archon is kinda "walking around, killing everything" on mid-MPs. If you play in group and/or want to go ubers, CMWW might be uber, for simple farming ~MP5 Archon should be possible with 200m and it can be fun, too. Choose what feels best for you.
Archon is notoriously expensive to gear up to high levels.
I personally have not been able to help anyone gear up an MP10 capable Archon for under 1 billion gold. The farthest I've gotten for any of them was between MP8 and 9. This is also considering they were all fresh 60s with little or no paragon levels. You can argue with 300 addition int (30 AR), 200 vit and some dodge and armor at paragon 100 they can probably do MP10, who knows. I've never helped gear a paragon 100 wizard from scratch.
Anyway, point is, don't expect to cruise on MP10 with an Archon unless you feel like busting some serious assets. Go CMWW for budget high MP effectiveness in the meantime.
With a low budget to even try to run MP10 as Archon you basically end up running a CMWW hybrid build so you might as well just use a CMWW build.
One issue not mentioned is if you don't care about elites then MP10 becomes possible with lower budgets than mentioned. You still need decent dps and EHP but it's nowhere near the 600k dps and 500k EHP or so that I recommend. I'd say more like 300-400k dps with 400-500k EHP. That might not be possible with only 200 mil budget though.
Either way you won't be able to solo MP10 efficiently but it will be easier with CMWW with that budget. Just get your APS to 2.5+, CC to 50%+, get 2 APoC pieces, and stack as much armor and resists as you can. If you run in a group then don't worry much about your dps since you'll be more of a support player, but you still want enough armor and resists to run SA over EA. There's more info in my guide.
Thank you for all the advice, I ended up going with CMWW for now. I enjoy the archon play style a bit more, but want to see a higher MP first. Still have about 80 mil of my 200 starting left. Current gear is as follows.
Tried mp10 to see if i can handle it. Did fine, killed a little slow, so ill prob farm 8-9 for awhile and build up some gold.
Again, thanks for all the advise. Ill slow start working on a archon set with more gold. (or maybe wait until a have a few bil and see if i can convince jaetch to help me)

Currant gear set up. Also have a mid to low end Echo/triump/mempo(no crit) for an archon set.
Paper dps on archon set is 195k currently. EHP seems a little low for archon.
I can normally do MP5-6 solo in archon and mp6-7 with cmww.
With a 200M budget, what is a better use of the funds to reach MP10?
Opinions?
as for the 200m budget spent on archon build I would say it wont even get u a single piece of gear

oh btw with your archon, ditch the noncc mempo and go tal's helm until you can get a cc mempo
either invest on your cm or archon, can't do both at the same time, but go with cm. pretty much what you want for high mp hands down

Still need new gloves/ring/maybe a new helm.
