edited*(my PC is now connected to 40 inches TV instead of standard monitor. I do not intend to install Graphics card unless its necessary.)

I do not play any games or using any programs for work, but solely surfing browser and watching Youtube / Movies.

It seems workable to connect to my TV, but i afraid it might adding the burden to the motherboard / RAM / pentium processor and affecting the longevity of my hardwares.

If you are confidence, pls feel free to advice me.
 
are you asking if you can connect a television instead of a computer monitor to your computer... sure, its is what I use right as write to you this message.
all you need is the ability to "transmit" the signal to the TV, so does your TV have HDMI ? or VGA connector, what outputs does your Motherboard have ?
do you know what make model your motherboard is ?
 
Dear Mr.Paladins,
Yes my TV has a HDMI port and same as my motherboard , and my PC is connected to TV right now, it seems running fine at the moment.

My motherboard model is MSI (Skylake) B150M PRO-VDH(MS-7982)(U3E1).

CPU- Pentium G4400 3.3Ghz
RAM- 4gb
Window 10 64bit
Intel HD graphics 510
Very basic and cheap power supply with 500w

I rarely watch movie quality more than 720p. If i intend to watch 1080p or higher quality , do i need to make any changes ?

Back to main question , does it add any burden to hardware if without installation of graphics cards , subjected to my situation ?
