This is the first time that I would build a gaming PC and what help on what parts that I would need.
The budget is under $1000 just for parts and not monitor, mouse or keyboard.
Prefer Intel, and also would like to have the ability for a wifi adaptor.
And help help appreciated, thanks.

Change the Cooler to a Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO for sure. cheaper, same performance, quieter.

Also, with a few changes you can fit a gtx770 in there which would be a HUGE performance increase.

This goes a bit over but includes an OS and any gtx 770 which as tiny voices already said is a huge performance increase :)

How necessary is over clocking with this particular setup?

I have no real experience with over clocking, so at this point I assume that I will not try and use it yet.
What are the main benefits from this?
