You almost have a complete system. What you don't have is RAM. I doubt you can afford a CPU with an advertised clock-speed of 2.8 GHz. Meaning you will need to overclock the system, and value RAM or non matching sticks will not work.
$1000 - 9% sales tax and lunch = $900 to buy a gig of RAM, motherboard, CPU, HSF, and thermal paste. I think you can build a nice PC for that.

I take that back, Intel cores have high clock speeds for cheep. Just make sure it's 64 bit compatible. AMD cores are really cheep too, but they don't have the same high clocks. Don't let that fool you, AMD cores do more <!- dyslexia > less work and thus need less time to do it. I think AMD uses 12 instructions to complete a process where Intel uses either 20 or 31 depending on the core architecture.
