If by SMG you mean Super Mario Galaxy, you'll need a way better GPU because that's a graphics processing heavy game series. The others don't sound too bad, but I think Donkey Kong may be CPU heavy? Zelda Wind Waker is pretty lightweight, but Twilight Princess is really CPU intensive.

Well, if you don't need this computer immediately, there is an upcoming i3-7350K that is rumored to be an overclock-able i3. I would recommend sticking that on a good overclockable board (for future proofing and ability to have a lot of system features), get a water cooler, never hear it again. It will run at a really high clock speed and use comparatively little energy when idling. And pair that with a quiet GTX 1050/1050 Ti and it should be a quiet, powerful system for years to come.
