The blue connector is ''Audio Line In'' so you could attach the TV’s analogue audio out (if it has one) to it to record audio from the TV.
The green connector is the ''Audio Line Out'' so unless the TV has a vga port (sometimes called PC-In) to view the PC video (use the TV as the computer monitor) along with the audio, it would be impractical to connect it to the TV’s analogue Audio In just to hear the computer audio
The pink connector is for a microphone input. The signal levels from a TV analogue audio out would be too high and could damage it or at best give distorted sounds

If you do decide that you want to try and use a pci card as your computer has a SFF (small form factor) you need to search online for a ''low profile PCI'' ('''Not''' PCI-Express) ''WiFi card.''
What are you trying to do by connecting the computer to the TV?
