Yeah, that ought to be fine. Breadboards aren't rated for fast signals or large currents. So not really a concern.

Network cable is a good cheap source of jumper wires. You can also save the bits of tin that you clip off various components -- over time you'll end up with way more than you need. These are easier to bend into shape.
