You can buy a beefy GPU for $200. A ATi 6870 runs under $200 and plays most new games maxed out at 1080p. You have to make sure you have enough power though. What's the supply and have you got 2 6-pin power plugs?
Eh, Medium would already be pushing it on that card. The CPU is fine but your card is already 3 generations old, and it was a lower-middle class card when it was new. Depends what you mean, speeding it up 'as a whole'. A new GPU would definitely help your gaming FPS.
300 Hours of Monster Hunter Freedom Unite. Had to do everything alone though, stupid inability to connect different versions. Hunt 2 G-rank Diablos solo? No thanks.
Have you tried deleting Steam.dll and Clientregistry.blob? Allowing steam to re-download these files fixes a lot of problems. Solved the "preparing to Launch" thing for me.
What's your powersupply and do you have a PCI X16 slot? Your PC itself is fine, but the graphics card is worse than week old shit. If you can tell me if you have a slot and your wattage, I'd be glad to help.
The difference is minimal, I found some benchmarks that include SC2:

Either way, you should be able to play it fine.
