I finished my test this weekend and got 730Q + 650V. I am planning to go for Computer Science MS in UW Madison. Do i need to retake the test ?

Below is what they say about the GRE. I'm guessing you'll need a higher quant score as I believe 730 is around 75%? With that said you aren't that far off. If other aspects of your application exceed their averages it may balance out.

"As a rough guideline, most of the students we admit are in the 85th percentile or higher on each of the sections of the GRE General Test (Analytical Writing, Quantitative, and Verbal), and have a GPA of 3.5 or higher (on a 4.0 scale)...., you may be admitted if you are below these guidelines in some respects if your application is especially strong in other respects. "

So you will have to evaluate and decide if it's worth it.
