It depends on the specs found on the PSU's nameplate. But I suspect you will be fine with the GT 730 if it is the DDR5/64 bit model. Also look into the GT 1030 for a bit better performance.
If you can, post a pic of the nameplate. Or list the +12V ratings (amps/watts)

Is this the nameplate on it?
Pay attention to the +12v === 15A at the top of the nameplate. If that is what you see, the GT 730 64bit DDR5 or DDR3 the very most the PSU can handle. That PSU has a very small +12V rail.
Okay, so would you recommend not using it? I don't know what power supply to get. that picture you have linked is the same name plate on the PSU. Would 300-400 work?

I personally would not have an issue using the GT 730 with your original PSU. But of course, upgrading to a better PSU is always recommended. That Apevia PSU apparently has the specs to support the GT 730. But Apevia has always been an "iffy" brand. Not very good quality. However, I can't say for sure about that particular model. But any 450W PSU for $22 would be suspect.
