I think it will be ok. It's useless to have high grafic on SC2. Besides with Zerg, it's so hard to check zerglings on the creep if you have ultra high quality etc... It just my opinion.
I think your PC is ok for Sta2 in medium quality.

iirc people have said that SC2 is a CPU intensive game rather then GPU and you may want to consider that (though someone else can verify).

You might find http://people.rit.edu/~jdm2535/ of some use as well.

I recently got the HD 5770 which is cheap as fuk and works like a charm. Basically around 100 FPS on High settings.

9800 GT is the lowest i would go, you can probably get an ATI card performing better for cheaper though! good luck ^_^

this is pretty much the best advice anyone can give atm regarding graphic cards. As far as i know, prices in europe are higher than those used by toms hardware from US online retailers, but you can use this as a reference point.

speaking from my personal experience, my dell xps1530 laptop <-- yes, a laptop
can run sc2 on medium settings smoothly, significant drop in FPS on high settings, able to render awesome graphics on ultra but too laggy to actually play.

specs:
intel core2duo T9300 - 2.5Ghz
geforce 8600M GT
3GB RAM
