壊こわす
壊す is the neutral 'break/destroy'; ぶち壊す adds an emphatic, often violent or forceful nuance.

台無しにする means 'to ruin/spoil' without the physical destruction sense; ぶち壊す can be used both physically and abstractly with a rougher tone.

Compound of the emphatic prefix ぶち (from 打ち) and 壊す (to break). The prefix adds a sense of force or violence.
