How to connect Desk Top Computer to TV?

Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone knows a way I can connect my TV Logik TV Logik L39FE12 to my PC ( I have a OptiPlex 3020 Small Form Factor BTX Base) ? I have done it with a HDMI cable with my laptop but would prefer to do it wirelessly with my desktop? Does anyone know how? and what I would need? I have a NOW TV box, not sure if that helps?
To clarify I mean display the PC pictures on the TV.
Thanks all in advance.
This is my Computer below.

If it can not be done wirelessly then how can I do it with a wire? as I am not sure if this computer has a hdmi port.
I/O Ports:
2 external USB 3.0 ports (rear) and 6 external USB 2.0 ports (2 front, 4 rear); 1 Serial port (optional); 1 PS/2 (optional); 1 RJ-45; 1 VGA; 1 DisplayPort 1.2; 1 Mic-in & 1 Headphone out (front); 1 Mic-in/Line-in & 1 Line-out(rear)
basically just want to find the cheapest possible way for me to display what is on my Dell Monitor onto my TV screen. So what do you all recommend?
Would these work?

Hi
My view is an adapter from your PC to a HDMI cable to your TV.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
The LG does not even have an Ethernet port, so all you can do is plug something into it. The L39FE12 has a PC IN (I assume this is VGA) and a PC AUDIO (3.5mm jack stereo?), so what is the problem?
To keep it simple, you can put the PC near the TV, and get a wireless keyboard with a track ball. The keyboard talks to a dongle, which you plug into a USB socket on the PC. So all you need is the short VGA and audio cable that you were using with the old monitor.
I have a 40" TV on the wall. There's a cable duct chased into the wall, so the cables run up into the ceiling, runs to the other side of the room, runs down to the skirting board, and comes out. In retrospect, all I needed to do was get a wireless keyboard, as opposed to all the palaver with trying to hide 10 metre cables.0 -
Roku, who make the Now TV boxes, currently have a beta release of a function that should allow you to wirelessly use your TV to display content from your PC or Android device. I've tried both (with my Roku streaming stick), and neither worked for me, but it may be worth checking the settings on your Now TV box to see if its on there.0
