Ok so im at a low budget of $250 cash sadly...but i think i can make a decent gaming computer out of it

I was thinking this motherboard
MSI K9N2G Neo-FD GeForce 8200 Socket AM2+ ATX Motherboard w/RAID, Video, HD Audio
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=K9N2G-NEO-FD-DT&cat=MBB

with this CPU for a decent gaming computer...
AMD Phenom X4 9500 2.2GHz 4x512KB Socket AM2+ Quad-Core CPU
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=HD9500WCJ4BGD&cat=CPU

total would be $200 or so, Dont worry about cables or power supply or hard drive...or any other optical drive, I have that set up alreay, i dont even care if it was refurbished or not.

Or any other suggestions from that site?

What gpu do you have currently? You would be best off getting a crossfire compatible board if its Ati, or an sli capable board if nvidia. And tbh, id get a tri core phenom II over a 9X00, they still have the Translation lookside buffer error, while the phenom II's and 9X50 do not.

Here's the same board but cheaper.

MSI K9N2G Neo-FD ($79.99)

A better cpu that's cheaper also.

AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz ($89.99)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103244

Do you have RAM?

Yep, Samsung 2gb DIMM ddr2 240 pin ready.

I love that motherboard!! much cheaper, not sure about the quality of the board itself tho.

And that AMD phenom 2.3 GHZ is nice, just dont like 5 day shipping

nobody ever tells me these things, but a tri core would seem unstable. but i guess its worth the price.
