The GT 430 is much better. The GT 520 is just a cheap, newer-generation replacement for the GT 220, it's not any faster.

What specs did think were better on the GT 520? Core & memory speeds only matter when you're comparing different versions of the same card. Clock speeds don't tell you anything when you're looking at different card models. The GT 430 has a more powerful GPU and more processor cores. So it beats the GT 520, even clocked lower. Just like a 2.8Ghz Core i5 beats a 3.2 Ghz Phenom II X4. Because the GPU is the most important thing, you can't tell which cards are better just by looking at specs, you have to check reviews to see how different cards perform in games.

For highest possible fps within your budget, you'll want a GeForce GT 630 or Radeon HD 6570. Those are even faster than the GeForce GT 430.
