Which Graphics card would be best for me. (I'm on a Budget)

I am working on a $100 budget to be able to upgrade my graphics card to be able to play WoW. Which of these would be the best for the game?
I can only get so much from customer reviews. Would like input from others whom actually play the same game as me.
These are two that got similar benchmarks.
Choice 1) XFX Radeon R7 240 Graphic Card - 700 MHz Core - 4 GB DDR3
Choice 2) ViewMax GeForce GT 730 4GB GDDR3 - Engine clock: 783 MHz, Shader clock: 1566 MHz, Memory clock: 1600 MHz

I would greatly appreciate any input.
Or if you have a link to a better card in that $100 range… I’d look into that as well.
Thank You!

I use AMD radeon R7 250 2GB. 4-5 years old works fine.
I have another system with R7 360 2GB 1 year old that I could run at mid settings in raids at HD no problem a little more than you want to spend though. I haven’t tried raids with the new multi-core engine upgrade on either. I expect to increase the settings on both with the new WOW engine improvements

I’d look for an Nvidia 1030.

sorting by memory is not necessary. you should compare the performance of the card. https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/

Both are below the minimum of the game. Both are old cards. You can get a Gt 1030 for around 70 from newegg. while its not spectacular its also not on the edge of EOL

Indeed, I have a R7 200 and I’m still playing quite nicely
