    Run a VGA or HDMI cable from the back of your PC to the back of the TV. Then go into your video card settings and set it to display on two monitors. Click the box labeled "2", that will most likely be the TV.

    ***update***

    I took a look at your TV's specs and it doesn't look like it has a VGA input. So you will need a video card with HDMI out. I'd look at buying another TV. You can find a much better deal on newegg or Best Buy and the TV will perform better.
