Graphics card

im not sure what the model number is but here is the link http://www8.hp.com/h20195/v2/GetPDF.aspx/c04836245.pdf that is the one i just bought.

As for what i use it for Writing reports, Watching movies, streaming which is probably what it is used for most and which is why i want a graphics card which will hook up to my tv. I just got the computer so i havent used it much for anything yet. up until now i was using a Mac book pro for everything i did

So that leaves us with USB 3.0 to HDMI.

Since you are not playing video games, the usual USB 3.0 to HDMI should be fine.

So basically this computer has no ability to be upgraded or anything if i felt like it in the future?

you will be able to do some upgrading but your processor and power supply will hold you back. Dont look like you have a slot available to add a graphics card but you can use the adapter as previously suggested. Also the computer will do everything you want it to do "as is" and do it well.

What full tv model are you planning to hook it up to?

So I actually didn't like the fact that the computer had no upgrade or customization availability so I took the computer back and got this one http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04700756 I figured for the little extra it cost it was worth it due to the fact that it had open panels already came with HDMI hook up and so on. Basically I wanna be able to upgrade my computer in the future to keep up with technology and I got a couple good reviews about this one saying that it was a good computer. what's your thoughts?

The prior model at least had a slot. I can't find a slot on this one.

Anyhow the USB 3.0 Video card should work there too. Keep that on the USB 3.0 ports.

you really cannot do much more upgrading with this one. You cannot change out the processor and the power supply is limited. It looks like it has one available expansion slot but it will be limiting. Just like the other computer, really the only things you can upgrade is the drive and the ram. For what you want to use if for, it will last for years.

Maybe some RAM, SSD and USB for the video you wanted.

I'm really bad at this I don't think that is the right one the one I bought is an HP Pavilion 553-150wb http://livetrendlaptops.com/hp-pavilion-550-153wb-desktop-pc-with-intel-core-i3-4170-dual-core-processor-review/
This is the one I'm pretty sure cause I googled 553-150wb so you are saying this one is worse than the one I bought previously

you are looking at low-end computers and most cannot be upgraded much more than ram and harddrive. None of them are future proof. Both computers will do exactly what you need them to do at this time and for years to come - as long as it is not a lemon. The advantage is they are cheap enough where you can afford to replace them more often with newer more advanced models in the future.

Also consider two or three years down the line the computers you are looking at will not be worth upgrading. They would be old and not worth that much. In most cases, the cost of upgrading would cost more than the computer is worth.

That machine is better.
It comes with a 180w psu and also expansion slots.

That should read 550-153wb
