Looks like a good set up but with that audio interface you have access to all your money can buy as far as mics go. Personally I would save a little more and get something from Rodes. I would say the rest of the list looks great.

Get the Mackie Blackjack instead of the Focusrite Solo. Preamps have more usable gain, converters are better, and headphone output is hotter. 

 

It's hard to recommend a microphone which will suit your voice. The Rode NT1 is bright and , although it might suit some voices, the Shure SM7B or AT4040 are almost universally praised for working on a wide variety of voices. They're more expensive than what you listed, but they're the kind of microphones which you won't ever need to upgrade from. The MXL 2003a works well, too.
