That build is pretty solid, but I would recommend going with ivy bridge or haswell as opposed to sandy bridge. Also, what brand of PSU do you have? I wouldn't risk the cost of that build on a poor psu.

If you buy that motherboard fron Newegg, you get 8gb's of Ram free. Upgraded to a z77 motherboard and 3570k for better performance. Slightly better Case as well. You don't need to buy an aftermarket cooler to begin with, the stock one will get you by for starters. Down the road you will definitely want to purchase one though for overclocking.
