Why do you think it's the graphics card that's been destroyed? It is just as likely that other components are affected as well.

Someone that says 'plzzz trust me' without explaining how they came to the conclusion gives me even more doubt than I already have. What tests have you carried out?

Well, if that's the only thing that's damaged (it's unusual but it's possible), then I'd say something like another 8500GT. You can buy a much faster card, but it will require removing the existing drivers and reinstalling new ones (said much faster card is a Radeon HD4670). This is the fastest card I would recommend for this PC without causing overheat or power issues.

it's literally, uninstall from the control panel, go online, get latest drivers, run and follow instructions. If you buy another 8500 you don't need to do this but bear in mind the 8500 is much slower than the HD4670.
