Dont bother

 

Overclock your gt740 for the time being with msi afterburner

 

And no you basically cant break your card if you overclock unless you modify it like shunt modding, vbios modding, etc.

 

Just search for yt tutorials out there and thatll help improve your current gpu so its more bearable while you wait for the gpu market to calm down

Still a waste of money as the gtx 750 beats the 1030

 

Go for an rtx 2060 or 3060 instead

OP may not want a GPU of that caliber. Probably has a SFF system. I would recommend only a 1050ti or so in OP's case.
