Most new desktops will have at least one PCIe slot open for a dedicated video card to be added to the system. At the moment, nVidia rules the dedicated video card market, while AMD is in second. Dedicated video cards are usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. Integrated cards are built-in to the computer itself, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
