Hi, I am not the best with computers, and hardware, I play video games, and that is mostly what I use my computer for, with a bit used for work, i've been getting a little bit of lag in games, and my computers overall performances is lacking, I am going to a computer expo this saturday, and have about 200 dollars to spend, what should I get, and how much is it going to cost?

What kind of hardware do you already have? I'd recommend having at least 2GB of RAM. If you already have that, you might consider going for a new video card. Those are going to be your main speed boosting purchases, short of a new CPU.

Video cards are generally the limiting factor in gaming computers these days. A $200 video card upgrade will go a long way.
