How do you install a graphics card and power supply completely?

Q. I want to upgrade my current gaming computer (CyberpowerPC Gamer Ultra GUA880 Desktop) with a new graphics card, and a new power supply. I just want to know what graphics card/power supply to use, and also if there is more to it, then just plunging it into the PC. Do you have to install a software to go along with it?

A. Just plug the graphics card into a PCI slot, you will need to download drivers, drivers are free. Power supply needs some screws, which should come with it. Then you just have to hook up the power cords. I would reccommend a GTX 600 series or AMD 7000 series. I prefer Nvidia. For a power supply, I would reccommend a Rosewill Fortress 750 watts. If you want a video tutorial, look up "How to build a gaming pc 2012". It should be by Carey Holesman. I might have miss-spelled the last name.


is it possible to hurt your processor when replacing your computer w/ a more powerful power supply?
Q. i was replacing my 430 watt power supply with a 750 watt power supply so i could run my new video card. i turn my computer on but nothing pops on the screen. i then detach the PCI-E cable on the video card and i turn on my computer. my computer starts to run like normal but then just shuts off when i try to play a computer game. i turn it on again and it said it over heated. i allow everything to cool but it keeps on happening. i checked all the wiring and everything is where it should be.

A. You detached the PCI-e Cable?

It is not likely that your power supply caused this issue actually. It is far more likely that a heatsink is not seated properly, fan is not spinning or something of that nature. Have you tried running with the case open, looking for any fans that are not spinning. Have you checked your CPU heatsink to make sure there is not any dust/debris?

The fact that it acts up more when you try to play a game leads me to the video card.
