There are so many Brands. Some are expensive and some are rather cheap. I am just looking for a little guidance on which way to go.

I am just growing one plant. The space is a small office a little smaller than a normal bedroom. Both flower and veg and my budget is $200. I also would prefer pre built.

Not trying to be a pain my friend but we need dimensions on your space. One plant doesn't mean anything I can veg one plant for two months and fill one of my 3x3's with it easily or veg half that time and throw more plants in there.
Space (dimensions) is an important part of the puzzle.

For pre built and your budget I would say look at the tasty LED's............but you will have to add more $$$ if you want to or can diy you can save a few bucks.
Me in your shoes I'd go 2x4 and get one of these:

Or go 3x3 and get one of these kits:

Is 2×2 to small for one plant?

Not in my opinion but it depends on what you expect to yield

I am new at this so I don't really knowing how much yield to expect from a space that small
Nightrocker

Not at all. I don't have any clue what 2×2 would yield.

nope, you can get a nice size plant in a 2x2 , 3x3 gives you a little more room to play, 4x4 is the most popular tent size afaik. For one plant , yer good with 2 or 3 foot square. 200 watts (actual) should do the trick.
I would go COB LED panel. Check out Timber Grow lights for some examples.
However, as you are new to this... if you know how much dry weight you want to achieve per harvest, and how many harvests a year, those are really the numbers that will dictate the size and cost of your grow. Then you have things like, is it soil or hydroponics, does the area have proper ventilation, is it fire and electrically safe, grow style, SOG, SCROG etc, there are so many variables. It not hard to grow the plant, but it is hard to do it really well.
Another example is you could grow like twelve+ small plants in a 4x4 or one monstrosity, so you see there are many many factors. Scan through one of the online grow bibles for ideas.

with proper training and care and a decent strain you should be able to come up on 200 g from ~150W of LED. 4 plants topped to have 4-6 tops each would look real nice in there
