SMD caps , where can I get them replaced

Take it to one of those pakistani cellphone repair shops, ask them to do it while you wait. You might have to supply the correct caps though.
 
If C595-597 all blew, then them going is more of a symptom than the actual problem. The mosfets for that stage also likely went, but what did they take with them?

Does it still work?

I agree. All capps were exposed to a hudge overvoltage in this section. C597 is also blown, you have to replace all caps in this section. Something else that took these caps out and is also damaged.
 
Thank guys

Card still works perfectly

I notice this when I took the heat sink off to clean the fans

But this card is used exclusively for MS Word and Excel at the moment :-)
