The one on the Right is Firewire.

 

I dont think those can be used as Video ports.

None of them can have a display connected.

Headphone > Microphone > USB > USB > Firewire

The only port on there that isn't used on modern PC's is the firewire port.

Unfortunately you cannot connect a monitor to any of those 5 ports.

If you’re lucky, although chances are slim seeing that it uses a firewire connection, you can perhaps plug in a supported graphics card in your desktop PC.

The 2 white ones on the bottom are DVI ports.

Those are to connect a display.  And you can use different cables to connect a VGA, DVI or HDMI monitor.

On the motherboard, the top two are PS/2 ports for your keyboard and mouse.

 

Below that is a IEEE 1394 FireWire port.

 

Below that are audio jacks, followed by USB and Ethernet.

 

On the GPU, you've got two DVI ports and an S-Video port.
