Hello, I have an HP pavilion Model: 570-P094. I am planning on upgrading the motherboard to a GIGABYTE GA-AB350-GAMING 3 AM4. I want to reuse the same cpu, the cpu cooler, the ram and the hard drive. After I upgrade the motherboard I am going to be putting in a 500w PSU and install a MSI Radeon Rx 460 2gb oc edition. So, my question is, what drivers do I uninstall To install a the graphics card and the motherboard? I’m using the apu graphics of the AMD a12 9800. I want to reuse my 1tb western digital hard drive without reinstalling windows. Also got a CoolerMaster Masterbox lite 5 for this. Please help! And thank you sooo much for reading this!

you should be able to visit gigabytes site and get latest stable bios for your mobo. then the gpu will sometimes work out of the box then be upgraded to latest drivers with amd's version of geforce experience(crimson, or relive, or adrenaline) or you can search you gpu on their site and get the specific driver. if it doesnt have included drivers use on board graphics temporarily while you set up the gpu then the gpu should work after you install those. you shouldnt really have to uninstall anything.

Unless your motherboard is broken there's no reason to replace it? If anything wait for better and coming soon X470 and B450 motherboards

 

The masterbox lite 5 is a horrible case with no airflow, would advise against it

The ASrock Pro 4 is generally the cheapest board with decent quality.

To install the GPU just use the Display Driver Uninstall Utility, then install the latest drivers.

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
