Something like this for case and PSU will do very nicely

They are not the cheapest options out there but the PSU is a reliable budget PSU.

I dont want to recommend anything dangerous.

I'm a big fan of the Lancol II Mesh and it is a really nice case. EVGA also makes good power supplies and this one will last

$25 for a downdraft cooler that came free with the CPU isn't a deal. Name brand RGB tower coolers run for cheaper. Either he gives you that cooler for free or spend the $25 yourself on something better.

The CPU,MOBO,RAM, and cooler come together for $100 but I could probably ask my friend to just sell the the parts without the cooler

There's just a big difference if your buddy is selling each bit of the parts to you at $25 or just wants a rounded off $100 as a bundle of them all together. If as a bundle I might let it slide, not the worst thing in the world.
