Okay, so I am going with my most ambitious build yet. I just sold my old computer and am building a new one. I (will) have about 1000-1250$ to spend on this computer. Not exactly sure what I want yet, so give me some builds!

drop the 902, get a 1100 or 302, get yourself a ssd instead of the WD green. Probably could do a CM 212 for your cpu cooler, and put more money into a good ssd. really recommend the ssd.
