Is there a way I can get Windows 7 at a cheaper price than $90? I've heard about students getting discounts from microsoft and I'm a full time student at a community college and other people finding holes in the system and getting the OS for free. Yarr harr fiddle Dee Dee..... But I'd really recommend not to, because A. Its illegal B. If you're ever stupid enough to download a patch for a cracked version of Windows, you'd be screwed. And lastly, a chance of downloading a windows loaded with viruses. So, don't be cheap, and just buy it legally.
While I certainly don't recommend the second option (finding holes in the system), colleges generally have some sort of deal with Microsoft to provide the OS at a highly discounted price. As Fogun suggested, check around your college to see if they provide discounted software. Not all colleges do, and they don't all provide the software the same way.

I am on a budget and desperately need a new PC like, yesterday.
My budget is about 400, which at max can go to 500 (Without OS, Disc Drive, Monitor, K&M).
I tried to make one but considering I couldn't add a CPU, I failed. I am really fixated on that Motherboard and while I wanted that 550ti, it will have to wait.
While it's most likely to get your budget to work going with Intel, I think you'll find AMD's prices more reasonable for your budget (which would mean you'd need another motherboard).
