Without Windows 7 Or 8 For PC?

[RayWill135]

I know I might sound like a noob, but I am planning to build a PC soon, and I am planning to make a 1.1k build, since that's my budget, but because of the operating system, it will reach beyond my budget. What I want to know is, if I am done building my PC, and I boot it up, without installing Windows 7/8, would I still be able to play it? What I am saying is, can I play my PC without a operating system such as Windows 8?

No, you need an OS to work on the computer. You could install something free like Linux though.

you need an operating system to do anything on your computer.

It needs an OS.
Either add another 9% to your budget for Windows, or a free Linux distro (but your gaming experience will be limited)
