I am looking for any advice connecting my TV to my PC with the quickest/easiest connectors. Visual quality is not overly imperative as it will not be required for high definition viewing. Thanks for any help!

You can go HDMI to VGA and then an audio adapter or you can go (DVI to HDMI - best choice). If you go HDMI, it may support audio but it may not support audio. So if you want sound, you may still need a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch audio adapter/cable (stereo to stereo most likely will be best).

Your computer has 2 DVI ports.
You can get a DVI to VGA adapter and cable. or a DVI to VGa cable directly. Though your Tv appears to already have something connected to its VGA port (blue connector).
In which case a DVI to HDMI adapter would be the choice if you cannot disconnect the blue VGA cable.

Or go with DVI to RCA/Phono (aka "Component" sockets), which your TV set does have, whereas HDMI ports are not apparent in your image.
Plus a 3.5 stereo jack cable for audio assuming you want sound to an external amplifier or your TV set.
Personally I have a separate audio system and a multi-way 'switcher' rather than use the TV set speakers.

They're not?
I can see them just fine at the far right of the image. HDMI 1 Input and HDMI 2 Input. Though admittedly the HDMI 2 text is a little blurry.
I suppose they could just RGBa component cables or even composite since the Tv has those ports too. But HDMI may be an easier option.
