You need more RAM. 512mb was considered the bare minimum for gaming a year or two ago, now 1
gb is considered the minimum. If the processor is of comparable performance to the rest of your system, you may need to think about getting a faster one of those too, but I'll wait and see what you find out (if you ever return). Your current graphics system will be more or less useless with modern games, including Guild Wars, but the one you plan on buying will be vastly superior.
Also, see if you can find out what kind of motherboard you have before you go off an buy everything, so that we can check to see if it can actually accommodate the things you want to buy for it. I have a feeling you may have problems upgrading, given the standard of your other components. Motherboards have a variety of different requirements, and newer components may not fit in your older motherboard.
Finally, see if you can find out how juicy your power supply unit is. The last thing you want to do is to spend a heap of money upgrading your computer, only for it to have insufficient power to run. If you cannot find these things out for yourself (using the method above, or other methods), I would suggest you ask a trusted friend/relative who can to look at it for you.
