You will be able to play, but with low graphics settings and it will lag from time to time.
It is also likely that you will encounter problems with high res texture mods and some armour mods (armours showing up as black textures due to not enough vram) etc. I have similar specs and while I enjoy playing the game, it looks quite a bit worse than it does on my boyfriend's 360.
