I have a dell and a sonyo 42inch tv. I heard you could use a vga cable or an hdmi cable but the only problem is that my pc has a vga spot but my tv doesnt and my tv has an hdmi spot but my pc doesnt? Is there any way of connecting my computer to the tv?

Do your TV has VGA?

What PC have you got?

You can get a HDMI to VGA Cable, something like this:

or

A HDMI to VGA Adapter, like this:

Those are the only ways I'd know how to do it

If I buy a new PC without a monitor an I don't have a monitor at home to connect it with what do I do?

The computer has HDMI output port
My TV has 3 HDMI input ports

Will I need to initially connect it to a monitor or can I unbox it an plug straight into the tv?

A TV is basically just a monitor with TV-enabling hardware built in to it. You can connect to your TV with no problems, no need for a normal monitor.
Just make sure your TV is accepting the right HDMI plug in the source menu. It's often labelled HDMI1, HDMI2 etc.

Your PC will connect to a TV. As the last post stated, a monitor is simply a TV without TV capabilities. If your computer does not have an HDMI Out port, buy a VGA-HDMI converter. They are fairly cheap with it will do what you want. You can find them on Amazon or probably any electronics store.
