The i5-3570 (not unlocked) is not a good investment. For an extra $5 you can get the unlocked 3570K which allows overclocking. If you're not going to overclock you could save nearly $80 by going with an i5-3350P and an H77 motherboard.

That motherboard is a fine choice, also consider for the same price the Gigabyte UP4 for Thunderbolt if you want that connection.
