First, no matter what mic you get, screaming into it will be louder than your speaking voice. To get the levels set correctly, you will need to "gain stage" which is essentially adjusting the gain down when you get to the screaming.

Now, as for what I would recommend in your budget, I assume you will be needing an interface as well so I will keep both mic and interface within that. I use the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure and my interface is the Audient iD4. It is a fantastic setup, but you will need a very well treated and isolated area to get the most out of it. The 440 Pure will be able to handle any screaming you throw at it, and while the Audient takes some time to get everything figured out it has some of the cleanest preamps I have used, including from some of the multi-thousand dollar mixers I used back when I ran sound for music and theater. You will also need an XLR cable, but those typically aren't too expensive, and a pop filter if the mic you get doesn't come with one. (The Audient came with a 20' XLR cable, and the Lewitt has a pop shield, so if you do get those you should be good, just look at the product descriptions to see exactly what will be included, if anything extra)
Here is a sample of what I sound like with that setup, but it's not the only quality equipment you can get in that price range. Look around on youtube to find reviews where people are using the mics, and pay attention to how the tone of the mic is, and if it gives a full range of frequencies. Look at the amazon reviews, and see if there are any major issues that keep showing up consistently, or anything relating to quality control. Find a mic that fits your voice. Pretty much any >$250 will be good, but if you are going to spend that much money you want it to be the best fit for how your voice sounds.
​
And after saying all that, don't throw a ton of money on gear unless you are positive that VO will be your career. It's a lot of money to throw into something if you won't be getting much use out of it. If you already know this is what you want for a career, take your time and research what will be best for you. Good luck!
