Get a GT 730

The DDR3 730s are bad, do a GDDR5 (not just DDR3 memory, the bad ones are actually GT 530s in disguise).

We have a NEW and GLORIOUSER-ER-ER PSU Tier List Now. (dammit @LukeSavenije stop coming up with new ones)

You can check out the old one that gave joy to so many across the land here

No choice though and there is also tax so a R7 240 might not fit

Looks like that GT 730 is fine. It's the full Kepler core. That's unless Best Buy lies in the specs (says it's got 384 cores).
