i have this setup :

Mainboard : Asus M4N68T-M-LE-V2
Processor : AMD Athlon II X2 255 @ 3100 MHz
Physical Memory : 2048 MB (1 x 2048 DDR3-SDRAM ) PC3 10700(667mhz) DDR-1333
Video Card : NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / NVIDIA nForce 630a
Hard Disk : Western Digital WD50 00AAKX-001CA SCSI Disk Device (500GB)
Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate(32-bit)
DirectX : Version 11
PSU : iball 400w

I want to play games at resolutions 1360x768 and can compromise on some hardcore special effects in games. Titles such as COD MW-1-2, Crysis , assasin creed, nfs most wanted 2012, fear 3 should be playable.

Thank you.

Phenom II x6 1100T is the most powerful CPU you can buy for this motherboard. If you don't plan on upgrading another few years, that's likely your ONLY option. Regarding the price / performance ratio, Phenom II X4 980 is better; it all depends on how many cores the game is able to use. Most of them use up to 4 cores today, some of them even 2. If you have only 1 graphics card and don't intend to go SLI/Crossfire, X4 is a reasonable option.
You are severely limited by your CPU and the amount of RAM, for starters. Quad core + 4GB is somewhat a bare minimum. That being said, the best you can get for your budget is Geforce 750Ti. Uses little power, too, which is good since your PSU is very low quality. But this graphics card will be bottlenecked by your CPU, mind you.

I am ready to upgrade my psu and ram... what would be the minimum cost of buying these things ?

thnx

 
You can use 4 plus your current 2 GB for 6GB in total, but in single channel mode. Adding another 2 GB would likely result in dual channel, which is faster, but you would have to get identical or very similar ram module, specifically regarding the latencies which should be the same. So thisnis more slower ram vs less faster. I would rather go for more slower, since the difference is small but additional ram helps a lot. Anyway, your cpu is too slow. Athlon ii x4 or phenom ii x4 would be much better.
