This being a budget computer it has very limited upgradeability. The only available slot to put a new video card in would be the PCI slot (NOT PCI Express, do not confuse the two). Unfortunately PCI video cards are no longer being produced due to it being too slow of a technology to support the latest video cards. You can still find them used on sites such as eBay though. Good luck.
