I have an core 2 duo 2ghz processor,3gb ddr2 ram ,a g41m combo mobo,and 1tb hdd with no cooler but a medium sized cabinet.
I know that i have to update my psu to 600 watt,if i would place a r9 270x 4 gb gpu or gtx 760 2 gb then,will it work without showing error.
If no please only tell the minimum requirements as i hardly have cash enough to buy a gpu and psu.

Should be fine. Just remember thats older CPU might not be able to handle newer games. I know i had a Core 2 E4600 2.4 overclocked to 3.0 and borrwoed my friends GTX 660 to play crysis 3 and even on the lowest settings for everything and a 720p resloution it LAAGGGEEEDD like crazy. Espically area where there was a lot of nature and grass movement. You can get a Q9550 for like 100 bucks on ebay if you can't afford to upgrade to the newer Core i series. That is what I did. I got 8GB Ram, bought my friends old GTX 480, went from a E4600 then to a E6600 which was pointless because its just a faster bus speed but it was a free upgrade. Then to a Q6600 for a while. Then i just coughed of the cash for a Q9550 2.83 GHZ and have it overclockd to 3.5 GHZ. Your motherboard can support it.
