@Duke got your back bro. ;P

This video is good but all motherboards are different and the clip is different from motherboards i've worked with.

1. Get rid of all static (touch metal and stay away from ballons and carpet lol)
2. Uninstall drivers of old card (refer to the video for instructions)
3. Unplug the whole computer of course and unplug all wire/pci-E connections to your GPU.
4. Unscrew the the screw that holds in your GPU. (Usually on the side of the card, you'll see it)
5. Loook right on top of the card, ON THE MOTHERBOARD, you should see a row AKA slot where your video card is connected into (refer to the video if you dont know) you should see a clip, go ahead and pull that back and when it's as far as it's gone just give it a nice tiny tug on the card and it should slide out. (Any problems just watch the video)

Installing:

1. Take your card and line it up with the slot and put it in.
2. Once in just give it a tiny but nice little push until the clip on the slot clicks and it's in. (You should hear a sound when it's in)
3. Screw back in the screw to secure and hold your video card.
4. Plug in the required cables that the card needs.
5. Boot up, install drivers, get gaming boy.

Anything i left out sorry, just the top of my head.

Thanks

)))))))))

Can't recall what you're requesting exactly, how to hook up cables? or how to pick out a good PSU?

This one seems more reasonable. Really all you need to do is just remember all the wires you pull out, and just replace them with the new one the new PSU gives you (just use the new cables the PSU gives you to be safe). It's not actually a bitch. People mostly only say it's a bitch to do because it's just such a huge mess lol.

As i said in the beginning. this video is more reasonable.

Good luck and enjoy your new card !

Do hope you won't get any bottlenecks with the CPU or RAM! Good luck and have fun with the new hardware you're getting!

Just doing some assumptions, seeing as I never upgrade rigs but always do complete new builds. Sorry if I sounded rude there, haha!

Oh, alright, haha! But I always assume pre-build systems or upgrading can lead to bottleneck seeing as you upgrade a certain part where the older parts have to 'man up' and work harder.

PSU. You unscrew from back of case, open case, take out old, put in new, screw on.

GFX. Unclip security thingy. Pull out card, slide in new one.

Wear a anti-static band or touch metal whole time you do this with GFX and PSU.
