In a PC there is three pieces of hardware that could give you Network and/or internet connectivity.

In most modern computers, the motherboard contains an Ethernet connection, so no hardware installation would be required, except for of course the motherboard itself. You would however how to install the network drivers for the ethernet on the motherboard for it to work.

For motherboards without an Ethernet slot, you can buy a PCI or PCI-E network card, which contains an Ethernet port.

Lastly, you could get a PCI or PCI-E wireless card, which could give you a wireless internet connection.
