yes it can run sc2, and yes it is worth the money. you are getting a pretty good deal.

Just make sure your power supply can supply it with the power it needs.

That's a great price, my 8800 was $229 when I got it.

No... Get a Radeon 4670 for ~$50. Less power consumption, more performance. Or a Radeon 4650, for even less power consumption for $35.

Also that 8800GT must be pretty old. You really don't want to take chances with second-hand graphic cards.

That isn't $50, and it's the cheapest brand model on newegg.
