Just checking if I've got everything in order. Probably won't need a CPU cooler since I'm unlikely to overclock. This is for a basic gaming PC, mainly for older titles.

I would consider 2x4GB of RAM to enable dual-channel performance. If you have the budget for a modest SSD for the boot drive, I would highly suggest it as well. It makes a significant impact.

Sure, the build should handle 720p and 1080p casual gaming well, and the stock cooler will be adequate.

The build looks good, but the i5 4460 might limit your performance a bit.
You don't need a costly wireless adapter...
My suggestion: check out this link - http://pcpartpicker.com/list/H434nn
Do you prefer faster storage or more space?
Since you'll be running older games, 2gb of VRAM should suffice...

The i5 4460 won't hold you back—it's a solid processor.
