You have selected an overclocking motherboard and a non-overclocking chip. If you don't intend to overclock you can save a little by getting an H77 or B75 chipset board. If you intend to overclock you will need to get the 3570k and an aftermarket CPU cooler.

Thanks Eximo, I do not plan on overclocking this rig so I'll see about an H77 Board instead. Thanks for pointing that out!
