It will. It's a basic, no-nonsense and nice case.

3.0 should be possible on that board, although I've not seen an Core 2 Duo overclocked on the 945 chipset yet...
Regarding cooling, there are several good coolers. In this case, I do not recommend the Zalman 9500 since it relies heavily on a good 'front-to-back' airflow in the case. Since you have a side opening in that case, I think the ThermalTake Big Typhoon VX would be a could choice. If you can't find the VX version, a regular Big Typhoon with a Silverstone 110CFM or similar fan would do fine. This cooler would draw cool air in directly from outside, and should keep your CPU nice and cool. Also, the design of the BT gives some additional cooling to components around the CPU socket.

The Zalman is ok.... but you have a case with a side intake, and in that case a BT is a better choice in my opinion to take advantage of that.
Your case is good for cooling, but that does not mean that every cooler will be fine. Some coolers work better in some cases, while others work better in other cases. The Coolermaster is a good case for cooling, and my opinion is it will work best with a cooler with a top - mounted fan like the Big Typhoon. My case has no side opening, and thus the Zalman works for me
