And this afternoon - blue screens, card smells v warm and i think the card has died!

Noticed the card fan was struggling so took it out, cleaned it up (was quite clogged with dust ) But it is still blue screening.

So would appreciate some recommendations asap as i can get one ordered today if i'm quick.

Budget, it's an older system as above, but it is our main pc - my system is used for L4D2, movies and TV and i also do some video encoding. So under £200 would do what i need?

(what do i need to buy as i've not had to replace one before!)
