No. GT 730 requires a 300w psu. http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-730/specifications.

i use http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ to calculate the wattage i need to power my whole pc
and the result is :
load wattage : 124 W
recommended psu wattage 174 W

Man, listen. I have an Asus GT 730-2GB-DDR5. I used it with a Mercury third class crap PSU 450W and this psu has shoved a lot of headache to me, like black screen flash, flickering, slow boot, etc. And this crap psu died after 6 months. Ya 6 months after purchase! I mean, it was 450w psu with 10% efficiency! What a crap!

So, I recommend you to buy a good psu like Corsair to run that GPU or you can check this and select your favourite.

I'm going to buy a Corsair VS450 next month. Btw, Which is your psu?

Man, I have:

Core 2 Duo E7500
2gb ddr3 (4gb will replace it)
G33 Mobo
Samsung 500gb hdd
GT 730 2gb ddr5

Still I will go for a good psu with 80% efficiency rather than my old Mercury crap. I never heard about any 230 watt psu. Corsair's entry level psu's in Asia is VS series and in West it's CX series. There is no 230w psu's of Corsair. VS350 is least priced psu of Corsair in Asia. Don't know about what's in West.

You should buy PSU first even if you don't have GPU.
Acer is a unknown psu brand. Never heard about acer psu. If you can't read the specifications like this, then replace it asap. Btw, which is your case and motherboard? Without knowing what case(ATX or non-ATX) and motherboard you are using I can't recommend you PSU.
"To make sure the PSU will fit your case"

A GPU like GT 730 needs minimum 20A on 12V rail.

to know?

That is 12A on 12V rail. Highly Unrecommended PSU. You need minimum 20A On 12V rail to run GT 730 and a bare minimum 300W psu. Because, GT 730 takes power from motherboard's 20+4 pin 12V rail and it doesn't have a 6 pin external connection to take its own power from PSU.

i dont know if my psu is fit in my case can you tell me how
to know?

Check your case model number and tell me or give link to case. I want to know its ATX or m-ATX.

Which PSU are you going to buy? Give link.

Ok. Please double check that VS450 fits your acer case. You should check if there is enough length to inside to fit it. Mine is mercury ATX and it fits good!
