The GTX 1050 ti and GTX 1650 are within reach as they can be powered by the PCI Express slot alone, but their price ranges are well above the GT 730 and those GPUs (RX 570 included) are somewhat overkill if the goal is just emulation. With all that said, I think the Ryzen APUs and the GT 1030 are the better options currently available.

The gddr5 versions or actually semi reasonable and can handle native and 2x on some games. Games that require higher GPU performance may suffer.All GT 730 models are underpowered and pretty old for 2019 standards. There are far better options close to the same price range nowadays...
