Re: regarding video cards and sound cards

The answer will depend on the motherboard you have, most boards will support a discrete video card but not all, and then there is type of slot available PCI, AGP, PCIe x16.

Re: regarding video cards and sound cards

Sound cards are generally not needed given the good quality of onboard sound on newer Mobo's.
