I don't really need a graphics card, a hard drive, a CD burner, or a power supply. I think I've pretty much picked out this specific configuration above. I would likely look into a financing plan through something like Best Buy or Amazon, though I suppose I'm not entirely sure what the monthly payments would end up being. I also realize I'll need to find a case to put it all in. If possible, I’d prefer if the total cost didn't go over $933... what do you all think about this setup?

Honestly, I mean, if you ask me, everything else looks solid, except for that cooler—it’s just not going to fit your socket... you should probably hunt down something specifically made for an AM3+ setup instead...
Here’s what I’d go with:

The Kepler can run on an AM3+ socket, so it'll work there. Of course, if he’s just looking for a basic replacement for a stock cooler, it'll do the job fine without any overclocking. That Hyperion is a solid cooler, sure, but it's over $50, and the guy didn't even mention he was planning on overclocking anyway. For a case, you could go with the Zalman Z1.
