Have you opened up the case and looked inside? Sounds as though you might not have ever done so,..?
Anyway, now is a good time to take a look under the hood, and give it a good cleaning with some canned air. The number 1 problem with PC components is heat. And when fans and heat sinks get clogged with dust, it eventually kills those components.
Here is a good deal on a nice video card from Newegg. Maybe not state of the art, but not too shabby and EVGA is a good brand.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130534
Also, here is a bit of a tutorial for installing a card.http://www.build-my-home-computer.com/best-video-cards.html
Hope this helps. Feel free to PM if you have questions.
