Whoa, that's pretty good for your first build.
I can't see anything there which I would change if I were you, apart from the PSU which you could step down to a 600W.

 

[Vearo]

Dual 460s will run fine in 600W? That's my only worry with the PSU.

We really like our DIR-655 here. It's very "family friendly"

You are paying for the onboard video and crossfire support, neither of which you need. You could get this combo instead:

Here's a great PSU, modular, for less. It's more efficient and you don't need the 650TX for this build. It costs less.
SeaSonic M12II 520 Bronze 520W

You still need a CPU cooler to overclock with.

Or this Zalman is one of the very best

Vearo, the board does not support SLI. Crossfire only.

Come to think of it, I probably won't add a second card unless I need it.

I'll edit the OP.

As for the wireless receiver, I guess this Rosewill RNX-N1 IEEE 802.11b/g/n USB2.0 is as good as any.

Thanks for the help so far!
