Nice build,and the wireless PCI card will allow you to connect to the internet or you could consider homeplugs.

A better CPU cooler and a caviar black as the secondary drive.

is 450W enough as a power supply?
The configurator will tell you if you should upgrade the power supply.
If it says "everything will be compatible",you'll be fine,but if planning on a few upgrades in future,especially the graphics card,it would be cost effective upgrading the power supply now.

it doesn't say anything about needing to update the cpu cooler or the power supply. would these be relatively easy for me to swap out if i ever want to upgrade my gpu? thanks for the help guys

Not sure how easy it would be with a mini case,but if you can afford it would save hassle and be cost effective to include them now.
The only option for a cooler upgrade with that case is a Hydro as the triple copper heat pipe I think is too large for the mini cases.

Your cpu will get hot when running games, the stock intel cpu cooler is fine for day to day tasks but when gaming it will get hot and a better cpu cooler (triple copper) should be quieter and keep the cpu cooler, it is probably not essential but it will help with cooling. You asked if 450w was enough, it is for the spec you have but if you want to upgrade to a better gpu in the future like the GTX 770 then it is not enough. It is a hassle to replace a cpu cooler and a PSU, you could check on youtube videos to see what it is involved.
 
thanks I'll probably go with the extra cpu cooler but leave the power supply for as and when I want to upgrade (if I want to at all)
