I need help locating video graphics card inside a emachines t5234 computer (picture of the inside included)?

Okay so I've opened up my computer and I've never removed a graphics card before. So I have no idea where it is. I found a pic of the same exact computer i have with it, with everything open so the parts kinda show. Can you just like edit it on paint and draw an arrow pointing to where the video graphics card will be? or explain to me where it is? Or both ? x) Thank you :D

If you want to add one into the comp the you need to put it in your pci-e slot which is the red one in the picture you have provided. When you install it your computer should automatically disable the onboard card. If not you have to disable it in the bios. Pretty simple good luck.

ADD:

All motherboards since at least 2000 have a built in card. Now at the same time some computers that are prebuilt come with a dedicated card also. No emachine does. In fact most prebuilt computers under $700 do not come with one. Dedicated GPU's are expensive usually ranging anywhere from $50-$2000. Low range cards don't run much better then chipsets (integrated cards) so anytime you buy a card at least spend $100 on it. Anything over $500 is not for gaming but for workstation comps. I hope that all makes sense to ya. What exactly are you trying to do?

ADD:

Here is a good site to help you out a little:http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLis… . They have about the lowest prices and I refined the search for you to keep it in the $100-$200 range. I would recommend this one if you want a good one for a cheap price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… . Good luck.
