It's appearing as circles of light around the main core of the galaxy, instead of showing the galaxy the way i edited the picture.

If anyone else is have this problem with this picture, please speak! Also speak if it looks fine, as it might be my graphics card, which could be a major problem for me, and I must know! I don't know what to do if it is the picture looking funky, if that is the case, i guess I'll first try re-uploading it, but after that... *shrug*.

It looks good to me!
I took the liberty to process your photo some more even though its in a jpeg format.
I used Photoshop 7.0
I adjusted the histogram settings and your dark and light points, I think your image looks very good
As a general rule aways process your images in its raw form, Ex; FIts, Raw,Tiff, do not save as a jpeg or a bitmap of gif until you have completed you post processing, this way you are not truncating down your original data, You want all the data without compression to work on before you truncate it down to a jpeg , bitmap, or Gif.
