if i bought this pc in the link below with an integrated video card could i possibly buy a good video card when i get the money to and install it to this system? i know some about computers but i have never had an integrated card. can i add my own video card with the integrated graphics on the mother board?
this is the computer im lookin at but if i dont get this one is there something i should look for to be able to add a better graphics card later if it comes with integrated like a certain slot on the mother board?

For example, one of these:

Would work fine.
You couldn't install anything better because the stock 300 watt power supply on brand-name computers like HP, Dell, Sony etc isn't enough to support higher-performance cards. In order to run graphics cards of the $100 and higher variety, you'd need to upgrade the computer's power supply.

The Antec psu listed above could support anything up to a Radeon 5770.

Then on the rear you would have the graphics cards' output to connect your monitor eg DVI/VGA ports.
