Is it possible to upgrade the processor of a low end pc for gaming

Sure, if its a desktop. Despite, you're gonna need more than a CPU upgrade to make gaming-ready

What's the least cores and clock speed required for most tripple A tittles ? 4 cores ? 3.0GHz ?

I know it is mostly dependent on the graphics card but i just want to have an idea.

Recent Triple A games... you shouldn't go less than a CPU with 4 cores especially when you're using mid-highend GPUs else you'd bottleneck your gpu

However if one is getting a budget gpu then 2 cores would suffice. But, I presume you're talking about AAA games of last, say 5 years or so. In that case, a CPU with 4 cores and >= 3.0 ghz would get you through any recent game. CPUs are hyperthreaded these days so, you won't need more, at least for now.
But, if one has the money to throw around, there's nothing wrong with going higher to 6 cores... For future proof

Sorry, it's really hard for me to figure out these PC models I prefer to work with individual parts as it might have been altered in some way
