Yes, BUT that will be an awesome rig with at least a C2Duo E6600. The Pentium Ds are "no-match" for the Core 2 Duo. Even the cheaper E4300 and the new Pentium E2160 beats the Pentium D935 3.2Ghz in most games:

Check out the cases from Antec, Lian Li, Coolermaster or Thermaltake.

Dude, don't listen to what the other people said about the graphics card!!! The 88000GTS (320/640mb) is one of the best cards on the market at the moment, and it's DX10 compatible so should last a while, the 8800 is the latest chipset brought out by nVidia and only the 8800GTX or 8800ULTRA out-perform the 8800GTS!!!
My only concern will be the stability of you rig, the power supply is probably a little on the low side, the 8800gts likes a lot of power, better to spend the extra £20-30 to get a more powerful one to be safe.
Corsair RAM is awesome, for serious gaming you might want to think about 4Gb rather than 2Gb (2 will be fine, but who want's fine ;)).
I'm not a big fan of Hitachi HDD's (had one die after about 15 months, probably just bad luck but I don't like them now), I'd recommend Seagate, Samsung or WD (Western Digital) as some of the most industry respected makes.
Have you thought about getting 2 HDD's in a RAID 0 configuration, this effectively doubles the data transfer rate to and from the HDD's. It's easily done with 2 identical HDD's and a lot of high end gaming rigs have this now.
What you want for the Case is up to you, what type of styling you like etc. I'd budget about £45-65 for an ok case, you can always blow £200 on Zalman's latest one if you've got the cash (it's nice!!).
That set-up will play any game out there with everything on full 800x600, if you go to stupidly high resolutions on games brought out now you will see frame rates drop to just-about acceptable levels (30fps) which will still be playable, but not ideal.
As with anything computer related things change at a stupidly fast rate and in 6 months to a year, you'll be turning settings down as standard, and in 2 to 3 years you'll have to replace everything.
Hope this helps, (I've included a review comparing the 8800gts and gtx)

Yahoo video games has an excellent determination of online video games you could play with different human beings. For video games you could play on my own, facebook has somewhat some good ones like Bejeweled, Peggle, and Tetris.

Your ram, hard disk and CPU are OK for games with high quality, but I'm not sure for graphic card. I use
Mainboard: ASUS A-58N,
CPU: AMD 2,4 Ghz,
RAM: 1GB (2x512MB)
Hard disk: 240GB,
VGA: ATI Radeon X1900 Series and my computer plays games very well. But for your graphic card I suggested to go to the web site of ASUS for information. By my opinion the ATI graphic cards are the best so you should buy it.
