What Graphics Card should I install

Roger00

Hi, I've recently bought a Samsung 22" tv to connect to my desktop, problem is there is no audio input on the tv so when I connect DVI to HDMI I have no audio except through an external speaker, which I'd prefer to get rid of. So I was thinking of changing the graphics card to one with HDMI included. I connected my laptop to the tv hdmi to hdmi and the sound works perfect, but I don't know what card to get for my desktop.

The specs are as follows:
PROCESSOR:
Number of CPUs: 2 physical , 2 logical
Name: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2200 @ 2.20GHz
Clock frequency: 2193 Mhz
Socket: CPUSocket
Voltage: 1.30 Volt
Manufacturer: GenuineIntel
Model: x64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 13
Cache(s): 1024KB Level2

MAINBOARD:
Wolfdale 1333-D667.

DISPLAY:
Name: ATI Radeon HD 2400 Series
Chipset: ATI display adapter (0x94C3)
RAM: 256 MB

RAM:
Installed modules: 1
RAM type: SDRAM
Access speed: 0 ns
Total: 2.048 MB
Used: 1.266 MB (62 %)
Free: 781 MB (38 %)

WINDOWS:
Name: Windows 7 Ultimate
Version: 6.1.7601
Service Pack: ServicePack 1

Any info to the type of card I should install would be greatly appreciated, would buy a new desktop but can't afford one. Price would also be an issue with the new graphics card.
I do a lot of video & photo editing, creating videos, slideshows etc. would also want to watch netflix and the likes.

Thanks in advance!

This should do, provided you have a PCIe (PCI Express) bay in your machine. Depending on the size of your case this card supports either full profile, or low profile if the case is smaller than usual

Some DVI ports support 2-channel audio, it might be worth trying a dvi-hdmi adaptor if you can get one cheap enough

Edit: Never mind, you've already tried a DVI-HDMI cable. Just ignore me...
