I currently have a PC that I have upgraded considerably. I want to upgrade my GPU again for under 90$ and alot of people have recommended a GeForce GT 740. But the one I wish to buy is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/191536198539?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82.

I'm interested in it because despite it is a GT 730 it is 80$ and it have a 1.01 GHz core and 2 GB of GDDR5. Would this be a good card to buy or should i get a less performing GT 740?

750 Ti is probably what you would want to go for, the benefits of saving up the extra $30 for the card are probably worth it, in my opinion.

Here is a Gigabyte 750Ti Low-profile card, $119:

If you absolutely cannot move your budget any, then go ahead and buy what you can. Although, I think I would just use intel's integrated graphics at that price point. A 730/740 is not worth the cost over integrated graphics. Again, in my opinion. The 740 is a rebranded GTX 650.

What will you be using this gpu for? If its gaming what games do you plan to play? And what is the resolution of the monitor you would be playing on?

Here is a small one its a bit more expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836&cm_re=750_ti-_-14-127-836-_-Product
