hi, im installing a new i7 3770 and i currently have a gtx 660. my question or concern rather is, when i install my new chip what happens to the integrated graphics since i have a 660? obviously i have the intel graphics driver disabled since im using nvidia . im just wondering if a problem may occur

No , there will not be a problem since the integrated graphics is there to use if you don't have or want a separate graphics card. Once you install the separate graphics card it is used instead of the integrated graphics and the integrated graphics is disabled.

oh ok i see and another question while im at and this might seem kinda dumb... i just downloaded the new nvidia r331 drivers and i currently have a gtx 660, and my question is hypothetically if i were to upgrade to a gtx 760 (both nvidia) do i have to re install those drivers again for the 760 or would i just have to swap the two and have the 760 work fine?

The proper way to do it would be to remove the 660 and install the 760 using the included install cd. Then update the drivers.
