Keep in mind that last time you got a computer, screens were likely not widescreen. Because they're measured corner to corner, a new 22 inch monitor is about comparable to an old school 17-19 inch monitor.

So you really have around 380 to play with... for your computer.

With that budget I'd drop the video card requirement and go with integrated video with your cpu (it's free).

I'm sure someone here will help you with a build but also check out https://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc

There's a lot of good resources there.
thanks for the response. would you say there is a lot of risk in buying an used computer? $300 is a lot of money to lose if the pc doesnt work for some reason although ive dropped that much on an used phone and it worked out fine.
