With my facepalm out of the way, you could potentially get a r7 240 with a $45 GPU budget.

But to be honest, the 240 is an absolutely horrible card in a price/performance ratio. It's not even a very good card, but it's a definite improvement from the integrated graphics.
To explain the price/performance ratio, the 240 is about $50. The 260x is about $100. However, the 260x performs about 3x better than the 240, therefore being more worth the money.

Anyway, it would be much easier to just save the Memory, the Windows product key, HDD, and optical drive, then replacing the rest of the build.

It's a bit of a price increase, but if you save up $200, you can completely rebuild that PC into something a million times better.

I- I don't even....

You're going to have to get quite a larger budget...

And you're going to have to upgrade more than your video card...
