Ok,

- Definately upgrade that GFX card. 8800GT for gaming minimum IMO.
- Lower the RAM, no need at all for 8GB. 4GB Max, 2GB is fine actually.
- The case is ok, but i'd personally recommend the Coolermaster RC-690. You can get that with a 460W PSU, but I'd buy my own to be safe.

The Quad core and Mobo are fine choices, but you could take a look at the newer E8400 chips. Actually take a look at Thrawns build from a couple of weeks ago, it was pretty much spot on bang for buck PC gaming machine.

Any questions, just PM me, I'll help you out.

Buy from MSY. Bargain prices, recently built this system:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 - $282
ASUS P5Q-SE - $148
Kingston 4GB 800Mhz RAM - $60
Nvidia 9800GTX+ - $240
Western Digital 750GB HDD - $105
Coolermaster CAC-T05 (w/ 460W PSU) - $105
Pioneer 216 CD/DVD-RW - $31

Total - $971

Those Intel E8x00 CPUs are great overclockers as well. I comfortably overclocked mine to 3.8GHz on stock cooling. 4GHz + would be a breeze with an aftermarket cooler.
