Ok, so I`m a complete noob when it comes to this stuff, but I heard good things about this community, and so I thought I`d give it a shot.
Recently, I purchased a new PC, being an HP PAVILION desktop. At first, I wasn`t going to use it for gaming, but I thought that if I could shell out some cash on a new video card, that it would be alright for the time being. However, I opened it up, and my friend had given me one of his older ATI RADEON video cards to use, but It would not fit into the PCI slot in my computer.
As of now, the computer has Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, which is integrated graphics. I`m not sure what this means, but because it`s integrated, does that mean that my motherboard cannot support any upgrades of any sort? Can I fix this? Please help me out guys! (My computer specs are below)
