Well you have two options assuming your card is out of warranty:
1) Buy a new cooler for it (cheaper option, if it's just the cooler that's broke)
2) Buy a new card altogether(more expensive, but would provide better results)

What sort of budget are you looking at?

I told a proff about my problem and he said that the cooler wasnt the problem in this case. Its the space on the graphic card thats the problem so i will need to get a new one. So which one?:) also i got around 2000kr which is about 350 dollars

It's hard to recommend anything without knowing your current spec.

If I were you, and it's within the budget (it should be, even with VAT or whatever), grab a 9800GT. I'd recommend the 4850 but a lot of people have said it crashes in Warhammer Online with the newest drivers, so the 9800GT is probably your best bet. It should be around the equivalent of $200 or less there.

Also, the stock power supply might not be up to par. Could you check out the sticker on it and see what it says under 12V+? If you need a new one it shouldn't cost very much at all and both items should be well within your budget but might as well check before you grab a new one.

Also, I assume your old graphics card is PCI-E?

Yeah, that's PCI-E, so you should be fine. Just make sure your PSU is OK and a 9800GT should be your best bet.
