A suggestion needed for a new computer

So here goes:
2 days ago I had my own comp until my parents decided to get it out of my room and move it to the living room so everyone will be able to use it... Now I want to buy a new one so no one will be able to touch it, but here is the problem - MONEY (Sounds farmiler ? )

For now I have 250$ for budget, I have been looking around in the internet and all the computers I've seen are around... 350$-500$ without screen

So I need a new computer... not something big I don't think I need ( not like I can afford ) a Pentium or something expensive ( I dont care for AMD either as long it will be fast and affordable ) I just need something that will satisfy my basic needs like: Gaming, Documents writing and Internet connecting.

So If you guys will be able to help me I'll be very grateful.

Thankfully,

Your-AsSaSsiN :)
 
Gaming on a 250$ budget isn't really possible....... Try maybe a sempron 2200+ paired with a mobo for like 100$, then buy some really cheap value ram, then a 40 gb hdd, and some ugly 10$ case. The most money you will have left is probably like, 40-50$, and you can buy an fx5200 with that i spose.

Wow, i didn't think it was possible :p

Edit: You need a monitor? No chance of getting one on your budget. If you do need a monitor try one of those salvation army stores or w/e and see if you can pick up one for like 20$
