Replace a gpu and psu

[jebron_lames10]

I got myself a new gpu and psu, and i was wondering in what order and what do i have to do to replace them( apart from removing the old parts ) I want to do this myselfe for a challenge.

 

Parts in question

GTX 1060 3GB ASUS OC

And a EVGA 550w psu

 

Thanks.

unplug all the psu cables and remove the psu, remove the old gpu, place in the new gpu, place in the new psu and re-connect everything.

 

Can i ask how is this a "challenge"? its rather simple to be honest.

use displaydriver uninstaller to remove the old drivers if you had another gpu, shut pc down, unplug, hold power on button for 10 sec, remove psu, remove gpu, install psu, install gpu, plug it in, install latest drivers from nvidia.

I agree with RKRiley, but tlink is more accurate, but removing the old drivers is something I haven't done before, and haven't seen any performance inconsistencies w/ the internet. But, that's the safe route.

it shouldn't really affect performance but it can mess your installation for new drivers up n shit like that. had loads of errors after uninstalling nvidia drivers via windows program uninstaller and then reinstalling them, turns out the uninstaller nvidia provided didn't remove everything and fucked over reinstalling. really annoying issue to fix.

Ok, I'll remember that for next time. Thx!

Thanks everyone, i might have missused the word challenge sorry on that, just wanted to make sure i don't damage something or do something wrong and out of order.

 

Ps. My pc is a pre-built that's why i don't know what to do since i never built computer

thats okay, its a good starting point to learn, not much to destroy. a tip is to make pictures of everything so you remember what cable goes where and what should and shouldn't be plugged in
