This pc is factory configured with on-board graphics.  Does anyone have a recommendation for a 1GB video card?  I want to add DVI/HDMI capability.

@Fanderson27, welcome to the forum.

 

Here is page of 1 GB video cards on Newegg.  They have DVI and HDMI.  However, they require a minimum of 300W to operate properly.  The power supply unit (PSU) in the computer is only 180W.  This means that you will have to upgrade the PSU, also.  I recommend at least 500W to allow for extra power during peak usage.  I like Corsair products.
