Yes. Lovely pyridine helped me pick some things out.

Yes all if thse parts are fine, the RAM and mobo and CPU are all compatible
that cpu should be fine to run minecraft and such
the mobo has 4 ram slots too, so you can upgrade in the future
Case: Go with a better quality case (this isn't a "poor" build, obviously, as you've chosen an i5/460), such as the HAF 912 pyridine mentioned
HDD: WD Caviar Black or Spinpoint F3; noticeable improvement in loading times
GPU: nothing wrong with this, though overkill for minecraft and most likely CS
too
Gamepad: why.jpg
RAM: pretty cheap right now, might not be a bad idea to go for 8GB since it's less than twice as much as 4gb; that being said the price could drop further and you won't likely need more than 4gb for minecraft/css
Mobo: good
PSU: you won't need 750W, way overkill; I have one in my 2500k/5850 rig and I can't say it's being even 50% used. You'd be most likely safe with a 500W at most
CPU: excellent CPU, again though, overkill for what you're doing with it
-Timings on that RAM aren't the best.
-Unless you're running a dual GPU set up, you can go with a 600 or 500 watt power supply with no problems.
-Personally, I wouldn't go for a cool case, the one you picked out will do just fine.
I suggested 750w because it leaves room for overclocking and almost a guarantee in the possibility of upgrading.
Overclocking both of them won't require 750 watts, though. I guess if you wanted to SLI, then maybe.

It's not a matter of being a "cool" case as it is getting the best value for your money; airflow, cable management (the HAF 912 is pretty good for the money), space. Working in small cases and having cables strewn about isn't fun at all.
