New gaphics card help.

Hi guys.

My 7850 currently is on the fritz. So now i need a replacement graphics card. I can not afford anything too extravagant at the moment I just need something to hold me over until tax season.

I was looking at the Asus geforce gt 730
https://www.amazon.com/ASUS-GeForce-Graphics-Cards-GT730-2GD3/dp/B01EYU5MDG/ref=sr_1_4?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1474821233&sr=1-4&keywords=gt+730&refinements=p_n_feature_four_browse-bin%3A6066314011%2Cp_n_feature_keywords_browse-bin%3A5779424011

Was just wondering about a couple things.

1. Can I dual monitor with this card. ( computer and tv )
2. Think this would play dota 2 decently?

Im open to suggestions on any other cards you guys may consider. I just want to spend around 65. Thanks!

730 is a pile of junk

Second hand 750 maybe? If it's just to hold over ?

Maybe a second ahnd 750, But why is the 730 such a "pile of junk" ??

Not a gaming card. Step down from your current card.

Anything <x50 series will never be recommend for gaming

Ohh, I see. Yeah i do know its a step down from the 7850. But I really only play that one game. Which from what I understand is not super demanding. Do you think the 730 would run dota 2?
