This is over your budget, but the extra cost for the i5 is worth it over an i3:

The stock CPU cooler will be fine and the PSU is much cheaper and very good. Different case option, going to the SPEC-01 would bring the price down a little more.

Will the cooler be able to keep it from overheating?

Actually, with this CPU, the stock cooler is fine. You don't have to buy a CPU Cooler.
