What sud I do now?
What you bought and what you quoted (8500GT) are both PCI-E cards and will NOT work with your mobo. You specifically need to buy AGP cards for which you need to confirm that a brown AGP slot exists on your mobo.

The fastest AGP card is 7600GT afaik. The performance is in this hierarchy; the cost is just the reverse.

7600GT > 6800GT > 6600GT > 7300GT > 7300GS

Buy any card within your budget with at least 256MB RAM.
