I have recently purchased a used pc its a windows vista home premium desktop.I also am purchasing a 32 inch lcd tv it has s-video hook ups on tv and HDMI but no vga.And my pc dose not have s-video or HDMI.

So I need to know what should I do purchase a little more expensive tv with a VGA or put a HDMI into my PC.

I also would like to know more about windows should I stick with the Windows Vista until windows 8 comes out or just upgrade to the windows 7 or leave it alone at the vista.

The computer is not a built pc but I just need to switch a few thing on it.

you could upgrade your video card to one with an hdmi port.i,personally never really had a problem with vista.that having been said,i really like win7.all depends on your budget.

specs link http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/R/1014733R/1014733Rsp2.shtml
shows you can put in a PCI Express ×16 videocard. what are you going to use the pc for & what is your budget for videocard? can put in an ati radeon hd6450 card that has vga, dvi & hdmi without changing your psu, goes for about $50Can.

My budget is not all that bad a 50 dollar video card would be ok.I mostly use my pc for watching online videos and movies and stuff like that I am a huge anime fan so I watch lots and lots of anime online daily.And I wanted to set up my pc for a tv so I could have a nice sized monitor.

I may actually take the 32 inch tv off layaway next month and get a bigger one and still get the hdmi video card.
