Thats pretty far from his budget of around $200 but you do get what you pay for most of the time.
If you want a cheaper system the 3820 is pretty good however you will want to have at least 2 Dimms rather than the one you linked (4 is better) and if you are running bulk VMs you would want more than 8GB of RAM anyway. If you don't want any of the extra fruit a Z77 chipset gives you a 2011 and 3820 is very similar in price and performance to the higher end 1155 chips.
I have a 2011 (3820) but I only got it for the extra PCI-E lanes for my Raid card/Network card
