Pi board, case: yeah, get from the store.
HDMI Cable, USB Hub: just get from any local shop.
SD: Either order, or buy an SD, download an image and dd / cat / cp it
to the SD yourself (requires an SD "reader", but it is a raher common
equipment).
Power supply: A decent one of a mobile phone will likely do, IIRC, and
those are likewise common.
That said, there may also be other useful hardware addons.
For instance, a breadboard, some LEDs, switches and resistors (which,
again, you could find in a local electronics shop. Hopefully. I did find
one in the not so central place I reside. Well, except the breadboard).
