DVI to HDMI with Audio?

I just built a PC to connect to my TV for viewing videos, playing music, etc. I have a video card in it that has a DVI connection. My TV has a VGA port (I have a DVI to VGA converter) with a 3.5mm audio jack that I am currently using to connect to the TV with.

I want to connect the DVI and 3.5mm audio to an HDMI port on my TV to get better quality. I have looked, but the only option I see are almost $100 (box to convert DVI and 3.5mm audio to HDMI).

Is there a cheaper option I am not thinking of?

@Minnie, I am perfectly aware how to add an HDMI jack to the computer. Most, if not all, newer video cards also support audio over HDMI. I was trying to do things as cheaply as possible with parts I already have. Your "answer" was not constructive at all and offered no help whatsoever. Think about that next time you post...

- DVI-D to hdmi cables do not carry audio, they only carry video.
and
- You can also get either a s/pdif coaxial or s/pdif optical (or R/W stereo audio or that 3.5 audio) cables for audio.

A converter is necessary is the tv does not have any of those audio inputs to match the outputs on the computer.

If you built the PC you should know how to add a HDMI jack to it.
