Upgrading a graphics card is probably not a good idea for someone who is "an idiot when it comes to computers."

They are available just about everywhere and are relatively inexpensive. You may need several depending on how much you have to back up.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
