Going AMD might be better depending what you use.
If you not overclocking then you don't need the cpu cooler. The stock would be fine.
Also there is a cheaper motherboard you can use

I'm building this with someone else and he doesn't trust amd processors because of a very slow computer once but loves intel because of a old core 2 duo that still runs fine today. So I can't change the processor or I'll have to cut my budget by half. And I won't be overclocking.

There is nothing wrong with AMD cpu. The FX 8350 is no slouch. Just because one weak AMD cpu puts off your friend.

Intel option:
If you can't find the Xeon in the microcenter try this one
Xeon E3 1230V2: http://www.microcenter.com/product/400271/Xeon_E3_1230V2_33GHz_LGA_1155_Boxed_Processor


You can use a R9 270 to reduce the price to include an OS
