Keep in mind your power source as well. If you don't have a 220 volt outlet a 180 MIG welder won't do you any good. Although you can have a really long extension cord to your clothes dryer outlet to make it work. Even a 125 or 140 MIG welder may require 20-25 amps to work accordingly. Charles made a good point, get a tank of gas and solid wire, much better penetration. Lots of good welders out there. Tractor Supply sells Hobart brand. Miller and Lincoln seem to be the unanimous choice of most garage guys. I personally have a PowCon 200SM.
As already stated, spend as much as you can on the best auto darkening helmet you can afford. Leave the helmets alone at Lowes or HD, you get what you pay for. Stick with Miller or Lincoln helmets, expect to more than $100 for a very good one. You only have one set of eyes so protect them!
