Let's start with something like this. Prices aren't exact, but it's pretty close.
PCPartPicker part list
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 3.2GHz Dual-Core Processor ($64.88 @ OutletPC)
Motherboard: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($69.98 @ Newegg)
Memory: Mushkin Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($34.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($49.89 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Video Card ($104.00 @ NCIX US)
Case: Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 MicroATX Mid Tower Case ($24.99 @ NCIX US)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($51.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $400.72
However, you need to answer some questions. Do you need an operating system with this? If you already have Windows or something, great. If you don't, that's gonna cost $100 more. Do you have any other components from older machines that can carry over? A case perhaps?

If you're on a tight budget, most anything in the $100 - $150 range will do for now. Acer tends to make a nice budget display. Dell is a little pricier, but tends to have an adjustable stand and built-in USB hub, which is nice. Asus, BenQ, and LG are nice too. Whatever you get, I'd recommend it at least have an HDMI port, but try for one with a DisplayPort.

It really depends on what video jacks you have on your graphics card. If your GPU has a DisplayPort, then getting a DP monitor is nice. If your GPU only has HDMI and DVI, then make sure you have at least one of those jacks for now, but having the DP as an option for the future is a nice idea.
