So I wouldn't call the GT 710 an upgrade, but you should definitely clear your previous drivers to avoid system instability. Just recently I changed a friend's GPU and didn't clear drivers because it was a temporary thing, and the system stopped booting at all, giving out a GPU error. Cleaning drivers fixed that.

 

Use a program called Display Driver Uninstaller to clean all drivers before installing the 710 GPU.

So i got a MSI GT 710 2GB that im gonna install on my pc. Currently, i have an integrated gpu which is the ATI Radeon HD 4200. I also have an AMD Phenom X4 II B95 3Ghz which i will just leave as it is. Should i uninstall CCC or is it gonna cause problems when i upgrade (besides taking up some extra space)?

The Catalyst control panel is a part of the display driver and will be removed along with the driver. This is fine. The Phenom have no need for it.
