Hello, this may seem impossible, but I really need some help. I posted a thread before, but it makes more sense to make a new one about this. I need a computer than runs Minecraft, and Sims 3 and Fraps because I have a Youtube channel. The huge problem: I have a $250 budget. Help? Thanks!
I don't see that being possible at all. There's no computer with the hardware you're going to need for $250. At the very very least, you're going to need $500. And that depends whether you have a monitor already or not.
ALSO: It has to be better than the computer Im using now-
INTEL (R) CORE (TM) i3-2350m CPU @ 2.30GHz
RAM: 4GB
64bit Operating System , Windows 7
442GB Harddrive
Not going to happen. For $250, you can get something with lesser quality hardware. With a $250 budget, your best bet would be to buy a graphics card(if your motherboard supports one).

Thank you for responding! By the way-LOVE Doctor Who! Is there anything good, close to this budget? I seriously have no money. The reason Im getting a new one is because this one has to be returned to the school.
Trust me, I bought a 250$ laptop in a black Friday sale... NEVER BUY CHEAP COMPUTERS (unless you know what you are doing) because I regretted it a year after, its horrible today since it is a 2009 low end model... Your best bet is to upgrade or save for 500$ At Least!
You have two topics for your problem/question. In future, try to keep it to one topic.
My answer from other topic:
$250? You're looking at a second hand PC off eBay and a cheap graphics card to put in it for that budget if you want to be able to play Minecraft with it.

Unfortunately, I would doubt that you could buy anything with the hardware you need for close to $250. Like I said, you need $500+ for a decent system. For $500, you can build this. Note: This does not include the case or any peripherals.

Not the Athlon, at stock it (apparently) gets beaten by the G3220 and beaten handily by the G3258 while both are overclocked (mind you, the Athlon produces more heat, and thus almost requires an aftermarket heatsink to overclock, pushing the price even higher compared to the 3258)
I have a $650 laptop and it still isn't the quality I would like. 250 isn't going to happen...

I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone.
I long for that feeling to not feel at all.
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink.
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim.
P.S:
Looking for a DESKTOP computer!

This is much better.
No because you forgot a video Card.

I seriously wouldn't do that. The processor is awful, and so is the graphics card.
