Help with buying a guitar on a tight budget.?

Hi, I'm going to be buying my very first guitar this week and was wondering what type of guitar I should get for around 120$. I was thinking of getting an acoustic for a more natural sound, and not having to have an amp, but i've heard that the cheap acoustics around my price have pretty bad sound quality and are pretty much crap. So should I get an electric instead, as I have heard they are easier to play, and I have small hands. I'm looking to play metal, alternative rock, some old country, and clical rock. Is it possible to get a decent electric guitar with an amp for around 100-120 bucks?
