Well my video card finally died a soldiers death. I was in the middle of playing Fallout new vegas when I smelt an ozone smell right before I recieved a very corrupted Bsod (random pixels and lines) After about 2 minutes of poking around I noticed a faint scortch mark on the back side of my video card where a wire from the fan had sat and apparently gotten warm enough to melt the insulation and shorted the card 
I am hear to ask for opinions for a replacement till I can save the money for a good card. And as a bonus I will use the template provided by restatement3dofted based on theAnimal's post.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I prefer Newegg but I will look into other sites that others have had realativly good experiences with.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.A. namely California
PARTS PREFERENCES: I would prefer nothing from ZOTAC or Powercolor maybe others have had good times with them but after several failed cards over the years including this one I would like to avoid them.
