I actually meant to post the list with another motherboard, i've updated it now with the other motherboard. That system will be fine with a 550w PSU. I don't play ps2 and my system is pretty different, but I think it should play ps2 pretty will without an OC.
This is another option that going to give you much better gaming performance although it is not overclockable.
