I was wondering if its possible for me to put a graphics card in my computer. Right now it uses intel integrated graphics which is fine but i want to get a card with tvout so i can watch my yu yu hakusho on tv screen. is it easily possible to do so. I mean i have experience with a few hardware things such as adding hds and ram and whatnot is it the same with video cards?

Should be most computers today are all PnP. Just check the slots in your computer and prchase the correct video card.

Chances are if you have intergrated graphics you wont be able to put a video card in your pc : (

Thats not true. Normally if ones built into the mother board there are still AGP and PCI Bus slots. My desktop had a integrated video card. I had PCI slots so i installed a nice ATI 256 Graphic card.

I know his pc is bad like he said before so in my opinion putting a good video card in a motherboard that is old like that is like putting a 600 watt powersupply in a nintendo....

You prolly only have pci slots in your computer.
You could put a video card in a pci slot but.. yuck you don't wanna do that.
Get a new computer

Check to see if you have an AGP or PCI-E slot. PCI-E is the way to go now!!
