You might want to spend a little more money on it if you plan on playing Guild Wars. It will run the other two games you listed just fine, but Guild Wars will be a pretty big struggle for it. You could run it, but would have to turn down all the graphics settings in the game. I still think a Radeon 9800 (any of them: regular, pro, se, xt) would be a much better deal in terms of bang for your buck. It's ATI's best card from their old line, which isn't that old or that bad. I don't no how it will do on Guild Wars, but my friend just built a new Athlon 64 system with a Radeon 9800 Pro, and WoW looks great on it.
And yes, the power supply you picked is just fine. Antec PSUs are very reliable and, with the exception of the one I had struck by lightning which also f'ed up my mobo & CPU, I have had no problem with them. Sorry if I seemed a little harsh, but the PSU is often on of the most overlooked areas in a PC and is generally neglected. Spending a little more money now will save you money and hassle later on. Trust me, I went through two PSUs before I decided to sit down and find out why every 500W PSU I was buying kept dieing on me. Bought myself a 300W Antec SmartPower and it lasted for two years... then it got royaly farked.
