Go for 8400GS
It'll fullfill all of your desires plus a little gaming. Also a future proff buy as it is DX10 compliant.

8400GS is even better than 7300GS nd beats 7300GT in most benchs.
Ya for a lil more money, u can get 8500GT which is a lot better. @ 5.5k, u can get 8600GT. 8400GS is a fanless one, so less oc. 8500GT can be put to gud oc. Its oc capability is even higher than 8600GT coz of less heat.

7300GT is costlier than 8400GS.
8400GS is for 2.4k or even less. For 3k, u can get 8400GT which is way better than 7300GT 512 in all benchs. And 8400GT can be oced better. U can also have a look at 8500GS nd GT. Even 8500GT is for bout 4k.
