Got a 2010 Chili Con Crosso frame coming in tomorrow for my first cross bike.

Exactly like the below picture...

I've never done a build and don't know what headset to order, (threadless or not). Any help would be appreciated, trying to build her up on the cheap.

Will something like this work?

Is that a decent headset?

That will work and is good if you are on a budget. FYI- to install a headset you will need to buy Headset press. Or you can make one for about $10.
