A. Budget recording studios usually start out as a bedroom or spare room. The aspects of a recording studio are incredibly vast, so I can only give you some advice and point you to some places to learn.
A studio is built from the bottom up, which includes every wall, every piece of furniture, every door, and every window. Obviously, you don't have this kind of luxury, so you need some other way of acoustically treating the room in which you're recording. You first want to determine what treatment your room requires, whether it be bass traps, diffuses, or gobos. You can get a professional opinion at a forum like Gearslutz, which is a great source for all things audio.
Another thing you need is an audio interface. There are lots of audio interfaces, from dirt cheap at 75 bucks, to professional quality at thousands of dollars. Once again, look around on Gearslutz or other forums for some good choices.
Also, you need to monitor your sound. Get a pair of good headphones like the MDR-7506 and a set of studio monitors (at least something like the AudioEngine 2), and preferably something else to test your mixes on.
Software is a given, so take your pick. Cubase is a good choice, as is Logic (might be a little overkill) and Audition.
With a decent mic, a usable DAW, a good audio interface, good monitors, solid connections, a recorder, and a good sounding room, you'll have okay audio. Depending on where you live and your definition of "high quality sound", you'll probably won't need more than a grand for it all. It's unlikely you'll be spending any less unless you cut corners in places that'll seriously affect your end result.
