Best graphics card for this system?

My graphics card previously got wet and frankly I don't know enough about computers in order to know what part to order for this. How can I find the best graphics card for this system? Or more simply can someone tell me what is the best card this system can support? Information below

Look for a model number printed on your motherboard, usually printed around the CPU area.

The info you provided only tells us you are using a Pentium D. Most likely an 820 (could also be either 915 or 920) but not positive. In any case this would be an LGA775 platform, which usually has a PCIe x16 slot. But without knowing the model number of the motherboard so we can check, I'm not going to swear on PCIe x16 support. I am leaning toward PCIe x16 support, since you stated having a graphics card.
 
Well there's multiple slots for multiple cards to be inserted into the board. I have what I think is the model number here (as it's attached to a barcode just next to the fan so it could be the following base on me looking.

P35-PB4-RDW9
BQW254800231 AA D33246- 105
(Intel Desktop Board) D975XWT2

did any of these help?
 
Your CPU is a dual core, and I assume you have a slot for pciex16. Best card for a dual core, I suggest a GDDR5 card

Lots to choose from, for a dual core though, maybe this one

I had a dual core in the past, I had a 9800gt and it ran games pretty good at 1280x720, then I upgraded to a AMD xfx 5670 and it ran games much better at 1366x768. So that amd card I posted is the best for your dual core.
