I wanted to know which version of GT 730 is better for gaming. One of them is a EVGA GeForce GT 730 2GB GDDR5 64bit & the other is a nVIDIA Geforce GT 730 4GB DDR5 128bit. I will post the links to both of them.

EVGA Version:

nVIDIA Version:

GT730 4GB 128Bit with GDDR5 does not exist as far as im aware so be weary of that. All 4GB GT730 models listed at Newegg use DDR3 which is a sign and is much slower than GDDR5. Also Nvidia lists the engine specs of the card contradicting this ebay seller.

GT730 2GB 64Bit GDDR5 is faster than GT730 128Bit 4GB DDR3.

But if i were you, for gaming i'd avoid the 730 altogether and go for a 750Ti that doesn't need additional power like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127836&cm_re=msi_750ti-_-14-127-836-_-Product

I have a budget of 80 USD including taxes & shipping for this project when it comes to a video card. Only games that would be played is DOTA 2, Wizard 101, CS:GO, Pirates 101, LoL, SC2, D3, MineCraft & etc. It doesn't need to be on ultra or high settings because medium/low settings would be fine & the games that don't require that much spec's. However, I was wondering if this card is as good or equivalent to what you referred (link at the bottom).

That 750ti will require additional power 6pin PCIe plug from a minimum power supply of 300w. Can use molex to PCIe adapters but isn't advised if the power supply doesn't have PCIe to begin with.

CX430 would be a good budget choice power supply but obviously your budget.

The 750Ti i linked if you can find one cheaper will run off only your PCIe slot.
