H97 chipset will be well on i5 haswells
then you need a better PSU for your 970 although 500w is enough
and lasltly you wont needing an after market cooler for lock proc

Get this mobo--> http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/asrock-motherboard-h97mpro4
And you don't need that cpu cooler as your CPU can't OC. Stock cooler should be fine.
And CX is not a good PSU change your PSU to this one--> http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-120g10650xr
or this one if want something better for the same price--> http://ca.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1550sxxb9
And I presume you have an optical drive already as I don't see any in your build.

Good and cheap is sort of an oxymoron how about GIGABYTE GA-H97M-D3H?
