I've got a new HP dx4710-09, but it came with a sub-par integrated graphics card. (Intel GMA 3100) I want to upgrade it, but I cant spend over $120 on a video card+installation. I'm not great with computers, so I don't want to install it myself. What card should I buy that's worth it's cost? I've researched the graphics card slots my computer has, and it only has 2. What should I do?|||I believe your computer has a PCI-Express x16 slot for a video card, so any of the current entry-level to midrange gaming cards will work.
Video cards aren't complicated to install, you literally take off the cover, remove one screw, slide the card into the slot and put the screw back.
Takes under 2 minutes with nothing more than a Phillips screwdriver. But if you're not a computer kinda person and still concerned about breaking something, use the $5 installation plan- buy pizza for a computer-techy friend or neighbor and have them put the video card in for you :)
The best card in your price range is the Radeon 4830, it's under $100 and performs like many $120 cards. However, that card might require a power supply upgrade. You can drop down to a Radeon 4670 or GeForce 9600GT, which would almost certainly work without having to upgrade anything else.|||something like this would be perfect:

it is super easy to install, just pop it in the slot and install the drivers from the disk....that's it.
