Hi:

 

Your PC has an onboard network controller, so yes you will need to get an add on card.

 

You have the internal choices of a PCI network card or a PCIe x1 network card.

 

You have the external choice of a USB to RJ-45 network adapter.

 

You can start looking for the kind you want by looking at this page.

 

You have an index of possibilities.
