Yes, you've got so much overhead on the i7 920 that you can oc that thing up to 3.6ghz without a sweat and provided you have a half decent cooler (I put a Thermalright TRUE on mine) you can take it to 4ghz. I have 3 profiles on mine and switch them depending on what I'm doing. I boot at 3ghz for general use, 3.5ghz for most other games and 3.8ghz for all my flight sims and even the first two are overkill most times. I have a profile that runs 4ghz solid as a rock, but I try not to run that profile except in the fall/winter.
That and a solid GPU with ALOT of VRAM (more than 1gb for sure) and you should be fine. You still may not be able to run everything at high (or highest) settings, but it'll still look good without a doubt.
