Should I upgrade

[supergug]

I'm buying a new computer, for internet and word uses mostly, but I would like the computer to be able to handle games such as Star Craft 2 well enough.
I'm about to buy the computer as a whole, not choosing individual parts. My only question is whether to upgrade the GPU.
More specifically, should I add 40$ in order to upgrade nVidia 9500 to nVidia 220?

No,Nvidia 220 is a low-end card for gaming.
Consider at least GTS 250/HD 5750 for a good gaming performance.

What? add another $40 from 9500GT to GT220?! That's not worth at all...
Agree with maziar, get at least GT240 or HD5670 for 300W PSU or GTS250/HD5750 if you have bigger PSU...

thank you both very much, maybe I'll just upgrade to the GT240.

Good plan.
