New GPU + CPU replacing GPU-less build running on 5600G. What do I need to do?

[Razzamatazz]

Just a quick questtion.

Currently, I have a GPU-less PC running on an AMD Ryzen 5 5600G. See here: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/b/2XYgXL

 

Last week I bought a Gigabyte Gaming OC RX 6750 XT and on Monday I intend to buy a 5600X to replace the 5600G.

 

What do I need to do to get my PC ready? The BIOS is update-to-date, as are chipset drivers and Catalyst drivers. Do I need to uninstall any drivers or do a clean reinstall of Windows? Or can I simply take out the old CPU, drop in the new CPU + GPU and boot up without doing anything else? I ask because I'm getting conflicting information.

 

Appreciate your help.

While it might be recommended to run DDU to clean out the drivers, its perfectly possible that all you really need to do is swap the hardware and everything will be fine.  I'd only do more if you run into problems personally.
