I don't know what your friend's budget is but I built the box I'm on now on 
Black Friday for $369. Something like this:

Although not exactly that. As I had to cancel that and reorder because it 
wasn't the correct RAM. Good thing too whoops I forgot to get a case!

It didn't come with Windows though and I sort of liked that and kept it that 
way too. Maybe not the fastest machine in the world but I was going budget. I 
wonder how quickly your friends would run Windows if they actually had to buy 
the stuff. It'd have been another 25% of the total cost of my PC. Then buying 
all that software too!
