You can try to install the nvidia driver by launching jockey-gtk or simply by searching "drivers" in the dash.

If it that does not work, you can try to search your device in Nvidia's site , as they might have more resent drivers.

I would recommend you to install the ubuntu-restricted-extras package (to play the most common audio files, view flash videos, etc), altough there are open source alternatives. I also recommend you to install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package, so most webpages and documents can be viewed properly.

You should check this site for things that you can do after installing Ubuntu.

Good Luck!
