It is really simple. You should start by uninstalling your AMD drivers (may want to run CCleaner to get rid of any driver bits that got left behind), open up the case and remove the existing GPU (there should be a tab that you have to press to unlock the GPU from the motherboard), plug in your new GPU, boot up the computer, then install the new drivers.
Edit: AMD has a tool for a clean uninstall to be used if the normal uninstall does not work: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Clean-Uninstall-Utility.aspx

trust me, run driver sweeper to uninstall the drivers. just uninstalling still leaves stuff behind. i have had times where there was no audio after and just had black screen when its time for windows to pop up
