Is This MB Good Enough for This CPU

I am thinking of getting the Intel Core i5-3570K and I want to know if this motherboard would be good for it. I would also like to overclock it and use it for gaming.

It's a good motherboard, but it is not overclockable. In other words, you cannot overclock your CPU on it.

^ ksham speaks the truth, you need a z77 chipset motherboard to OC, or go with a non-k cpu to save some money (and not OC)
