That's because he can't get the quality he wants on his budget.
Either one of two scenarios has to occur:
A) Budget>Gaming
or...watch it coming....
B) Gaming>Budget
This very specific "either/or" calculation is part of Einstein's Unified Theory of the Universe.
You can look it up.

If you have to buy an OS then that will bust the budget.
Doesn't the motherboard have sound onboard?
Re: friend wants to build a budget gaming pc
yes, but mobo sound cards arent exactly so great. they'll do for the time being. in my mind the sound card was more of an accesory, but for a gaming console sound is key.
i know, OS are expesnive, i only have a windows 95 disc that i accidently forgot to give back to someone. was trying to build a pc for the new game F.E.A.R. and counter strike source mostly.

And onboard sound is a lot better than it used to be.
Re: friend wants to build a budget gaming pc
