Radeon HD 4200 graphics

I'm interested in a computer that has a good processor but also has this weak graphics (card?). So since I will be doing mostly photoshop, and still have to learn the program, I'm hoping to save my $ while I learn, then upgrade to a better graphics card. But I'm unsure if this will be possible with the Radeon 4200. Also, because it's integrated, does that mean I will have to buy other parts too? Or will I just be able to buy a better graphics card and have that installed, nothing else?

If it is a laptop, then you cannot upgrade.

If it is a desktop PC, then you can as long as there is enough space and the power supply is powerful enough. Buy a PC that can accept a full height video card (i.e. not a slim PC case) and at the very least a 300w power supply for a decent video card; 500w is ideal for a powerful video card.

yep, it's a regular size desktop. and Thanks for your reply. So, I'm guessing I will have to open the case and actually look inside to see if there's enough room..right?
