sure but don't expect to go all full and if ur tower case is good air cooling like antec 900 you can oc ur E8400 Cpu to 3.8 ghz safety without play with the voltage i heard so and it suposse to come with all cable when you make a pc .
i don't remember when i build my pc to ad to fight with the Seller hey you fishy SHARK WHERE MY CABLE !

and the case you got seem to be good enough to oc to 3.8 ghz

note it also depend of ur monitor resolution max for performance 1280x1024 = old CRC cathodic monitor
1680x1050 someting liket hat is commond LCD pannel 17-19-24 inch
1600x1200 a common gaming format for video game
1920x1200 a superb quality resolution but require lot of power
tough some poeple even go Two monitor : three monitor people are sure insane when it come to pc it like a car =)

but with the gear you got ur suposse to run crysis all high : at 1280x1024 and with cpu oc even better
Hope that does help you

Yes it's very easy. Here's a guide that will help you. It's a little old but still useful.

And don't forget to have zip ties to tie the cables inside your case for better airflow.
