You ain't getting no gaming rig for $250. You need a motherboard (at least $50 on eBay or whatever), a GPU (Good luck) and storage ($150 for a 240/50/6 GB SSD + 1TB HDD). Save up $600 and then talk to me.

How about a used 750Ti as your graphics card? You can find them for about $60-70.

For that budget, best bet is probably either more friend donations or buying a used already assembled PC on eBay that you can swap the CPU / ram into.
