I might have mixed up my specs, but it doesn't really matter... I'm looking for some cooling solutions for this NVIDIA GeForce GT series (MSI) card.

I'm not entirely sure what the specific differences are, but all I know is that I need DDR2.

PCI-E
400W power supply
1360x768
up to $167
I need to be able to run Call of Duty 2 and WoW without any issues. Ideally, I'd prefer buying from local shops in a major metro area like Chicago or Detroit so I don't have to deal with long shipping delays.
Here is the rest of my current setup if that helps:
Operating System
Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit SP1
CPU
AMD Athlon II X2 250 46 °C
Regor 45nm Technology
RAM
3.00 GB Dual-Channel DDR2 @ 401MHz (5-5-5-18)
Motherboard
Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. GA-MA770-US3 (Socket M2) 43 °C
Graphics
W1943 (1360x768@60Hz)
ATI Radeon HD 4600 Series (MSI) 95 °C - pay close attention to that temperature. That's the real issue here. My GPU fan died on me. If you could also look into finding a replacement fan, I'd appreciate it; I really like this card.
Hard Drive
Western Digital Hard Drive 488 GB western Digital WDC WD5000AADS-00S9B0 ATA Devica (SATA) 40 °C
