That's a very slim budget, here's the best I can think of right now. You can add a dedicated GPU, some more RAM and a decen cooler in the future.

 

 
CPU:  AMD A10-5700 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($99.00 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard:  MSI A55M-E33 Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard  ($39.99 @ Micro Center) 
Memory:  Crucial Ballistix 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory  ($39.99 @ Newegg) 
Case:  Zalman ZM-T1 MicroATX Mini Tower Case  ($32.99 @ Mwave) 
Total: $302.94
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

A little over budget but honestly, $300 isn't going to get you a very capable system. At all.

This is really difficult... Here's one where you will have to wait until you can get a GPU, like the GTX 750 Ti on this list, to play anything.

 
CPU:  AMD Athlon X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor  ($79.49 @ OutletPC) 
Motherboard:  Asus A55BM-K Micro ATX FM2+ Motherboard  ($53.99 @ Amazon) 
Video Card:  MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card  ($124.99 @ Newegg) 
Case:  NZXT Source 210 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case  ($32.99 @ Micro Center) 
Power Supply:  Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply  ($29.99 @ Newegg) 
Total: $416.24
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

If anything, I'd recommend trying to save at least another $100 if you better options.
