Your processor, while probably fine for Wind Waker (at least with an Overclock) is not going to like Twilight Princess or Metroid Prime for sure. You will experience slowdown/problems regardless. Pokemon Colosseum and Resident Evil 4 I have less experience with but they don't seem to be hugely resource intensive.

Your graphics card is very weak. I don't know if you'll be able to handle 2x or 3x IR (which is the whole reason to use a big T.V. like that) comfortably. Then again, I'm not very knowledgeable on radeons.

For Wind Waker, you will want to override the INI file and use HLE audio. LLE audio (which fixes a lot of things) is going to be too strenuous for that PC. Twilight Princess will have slowdown no matter what, but the wiki page for that game should help you try to find a balance between it looking good and running optimally.

The other games work perfectly on HLE audio. The default settings should be pretty good for them. I recommend D3D on Radeons because it will give you better performance. Unfortunately that brings glitches to Twilight Princess. To avoid severe lighting errors, you will have to check "skip EFB Access to CPU." That disables some graphical effects but also stops the severe lighting errors.

Metroid Prime is just very tough to run and honestly I don't think it'll run well for you. On a Core i5 3570K at 3.4 GHz I get around 80 - 100 fps during the intro cutscene. Though it's much faster in game, you will be experiencing some slowdown. I hear that the OGL plugin handles the Metroid Prime series better, so you may want to experiment. While you will get slowdown in the games, they may remain playable depending on your definition.
