What do I need to watch my computer on my tv?

First off I have a year old gaming rig that I built. I'll add specs at the end. It's located in my living room right beside my TV, What I'm wanting to do is hook something up to were I can watch my you tube videos on my TV from my PC. And still keep my DirectTV hooked up to my television. How would I go about doing that. Sorry if it doesn't make to much since the way I explained it.lol. Thank you and God Bless

    I can't fully answer your question as I haven't ever adopted or used the DirectTV service, but I do know that most modern day PCs have video cards that have a port that sticks out the back of the I/O panel in the CPU case called "TV Out" which allows you to plug your computer through the video card directly into a TV set. I wouldn't know how to use it though since I've never tried, but I do know the video cards often have it. Google it if it turns out difficult.
