Get an electronic tuner, it will save a lot of time. It's tough to find a decent guitar in that price range, but I'm picky. Look for something that has a solid one piece body, many of them are laminates or glorified plywood.

I've had great luck with these, I used to sell them by the handful back when I worked in a music store/recording studio. I still use the rack mounted version.

EDIT:

This is a decent guitar and should be in your price range.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you Bruin. I started playing this summer on an old acoustic and am looking for something to buy in the near future. I would find some of the guitar stores in the area and just go browsing before you buy anything. Also, I would look into used stuff. Theres a store in Toronto that has an awesome collection of used vintage stuff that sounds great.
