Ok this is what i have come up with:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail
Noctua NH-U12F (Socket LGA775/754/939/940/AM2) Heatsink
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard
Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 PC2-5300C3 667MHz Dual Channel Kit
Western Digital Caviar SE16 320GB 3200AAKS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express)
Samsung SH-183LBEBN 18x18 DVD±RW Dual Layer Serial ATA Lightscribe
Corsair HX 520W ATX2.2 Modular SLI Compliant PSU
Lian-Li PC-7 PLUS Aluminium Midi-Tower Case - Black

Total : £751.84

Their you go, i have added a aftermart cooler since your overclocking, put in a 16mb cache hard drive. Change the PSU to a 520 version (620 is a bit of a overkill). Finally added a nice, case.

The rest is fine.

Go with Stickroad's spec, it is simply the best you can get for the money. In answer to your question, yes, that spec will handle all past, current, and future game with ease.
