My PC wont work with it but there are a lot of other things that could be wrong.

How does one know if it is fried? It heats up still and the heat pipe that cools it down is working since it is getting really warm. The fans don't turn on but thats because it isn't too hot.

What does frying do? Since my card still heats up is it good?

Does it still work without the graphics card?

 

Are you sure the problem is with the GPU?

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.

check your graphics card, maybe a capacitor/s has been blown or check for burnt solder parts.

Let's assume you have a desktop and you have access to it's componentes. 
Plug your display cable to the MoBo, then pull put your GPU. If the system works, your Graphics Card is most likely fried. You can try to attach other PCI-E cards to it's slot, something sacrafical but functional. If the PC recognizes and uses it, your GPU is 100% dead. The other option is that the MoBo is not working properly.
