Hi!
Long story short, I was playing CS:GO on not-my-own computer the whole day today, and just now the computer shut down and there's this huge smell of electrical fire in the whole room...
I opened the machine up to see if everything was okay when I noticed a huge burn mark on the GPU. I think its a GTX 560.
Here's a picture.

Is the graphics card no more? or can it be saved? What likely caused this? It's been running fine for something like 6 years without any issues whatsoever.
What is a good replacement card of the same performance? I was thinking GTX 750, is there a cheaper one readily available these days?
Thanks in advance!
