Hey Niloc Welcome to the PC Guide!

First off, how do you know that your motherboard is toast? Was it tested by someone? I just want to make sure it is dead before we go anywhere else.

With replacing your motherboard I'm pretty sure we are going to run into a snag. With OEM pc's when you replace the mobo you have to buy a new copy of your OS. So right there your cost is going up :(.

The graphics card upgrade is going to be limited by your power supply. From what I got in my research you have a 300 watt PSU. So anything high powered is going to be out of the picture.

Lastly, what were you hoping to keep for a budget? We need to know what your thinking about spending so we can help recommend things.
