First of all, apologies if this is the incorrect part of the forum to post this. Now the question at hand, I was looking at some of the upgrade options for my pc that I bought from PC Specialist a while ago, specifically, my CPU, and found that there is only the option to upgrade to a i7-3770...

I currently have an old(ish) TV that doesnt have a USB port on it so i cant plug in my external HDD to watch music/pictures. Does anyone know of anything that i can plug into, say, my HDMI port and then plug a external HDD into that instead? maybe it's externally powered?
