Building desktop PC for 250USD

[Silicate Wielder]

My mom is helping me with getting parts to build a gaming PC, i have a price range of 250USD (United States Dollars)

I really need a motherboard that would work with this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153

I plan on upgrading the computer over time.

Not to break your bubble, but a desktop pc for $250 is not possible. A simple laptop will be easier. Like a chromebook.
What will you be doing with it?
But to answer your question, any ATX, micro-ATX.

I've googled it and found this. I think it's possible

Total $249

I'd spend $50 more and get a decent Graphics Card
Also I wouldn't trust the PSU that comses with the case... but it is what it is...

You can get a PC for $250, but you sure as hell can't get a good one.

I doubt you'll get much for 250, the most you will be able to run with that is Team Fortress 2 in medium settings.

For 250 dollars, honestly you're going to get a mediocre (at best) build. Even 500 dollars is cutting it close for a gaming PC. I suggest you save some more money and get a better build, you'll be happy when it's finished.

As everyone boasted above, 250 is a very small budget, and as I would say, build the inners first. Never have I heard or seen anyone build around a case, and I would suggest getting everything else first, just so you can have best quality of that item, furthermore, get what you prize first, so if you want a kick-ass graphics card, get that first, so you have the most to spend on it, but be sure to be responsible with it so your homemade computer isn't just a graphics card.

No. That won't work. You'll need to keep it cool, cheap parts run hot. Hot=part failure. So plan at least $20 for fans, another at least $20 for a better CPU heatsink. That ram sucks, so you'll want some that actually works. That'll set you back another $50+. That graphics card. Just no. Don't do it.

Seriously, if you go through with this, you'll be sorry you did. You'll end up saving another $600ish at least to go back and do it right. Do things right the first time, keep saving a bit, and get something you will be happy with. That $250 will not make you happy. It will just make you angry.
