I have a really, REALLY old pc and I'm already thinking of buying another one. I don't think I will really use it for games, except one game, TTYD. So, what minimum and recommended requeriments do I need to run it smoothly?

It's a light-weight game. I bet it would run well on a 2.5GHz dual core
Keep in mind that the minimum GPU requirement is Intel HD 3000 . If your integrated GPU (iGPU) is slower than that then no matter how fast your CPU is , you still have slowdown even with lowest resolution
If your budget is somewhere around $500 then you could buy Alienware Alpha , it will run most game full speed at 1080p

Be aware, Paper Mario TTYD is one of like 5 games that uses bounding box emulation, which means you'll need a decent GPU, and Intel's drivers are spotty. I recommend the Dell 7559 http://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/productde...559-laptop

Well, thanks a lot for the help, but... Those 2 options are really expensive to me, guess I'll have to stick with replaying Paper Mario 64. Or Is there a way to change the GPU in this old pc? I don't really know a lot about computers, sorry if I'm being annoying.

Buy a graphic card , sth like a GTX 750 (non-ti) should be good . Your PC doesn't have a graphic card
Your GPU (G41 chipset) is nothing but a chip which is soldered to your motherboard . Therefore , no way you can replace it
GTX 750 doesn't have a single (6pin/8pin) connector and it does not require a good PSU either . All you have to do is just plug it to your mobo then you're good to go

Oh, I misread your specs and thought it was a laptop.
Yes, buy a dedicated GPU like the GTX 750.
You can also buy an upgraded CPU, like the E5800, which is a dual core CPU running at 3.20 GHz, which will be a slight speed up for you. Nothing super dramatic, but may help get you from 95 to 100 percent speed in a game. You can get one from eBay for like under $10

Or buy a new motherboard and a 6th gen i3 for like $200 or so and put it in your case if it supports it, get some more ram for $40-$70, and maybe a new hard drive or SSD.

Could you send me a non-ti gtx link? I'm only finding ti ones(Altought I don't even know what that is, I'm not good with pc) Sorry if I'm being annoying.

Ti Cards are ones that are newer and usually more capable than the non Ti versions. The only non Ti 750 I could find was here, but it's out of stock at the moment and I don't trust the looks of the fan on it.

I found a somewhat low profile GTX 750ti that does not require 6 pin connector . So it may work on your PC

OEM PC usually comes with bad PSU (somewhere between 150-350W). I think you should open the side panel of your PC then tell us what is your PSU total wattage
If it's way below 200W then GTX 750 ti will fry your PSU

Wel... I don't know what PSU is... I'm really bad at this, sorry.
