I will be installing a graphics card in my pc that I built recently and read that I have to uninstall the integrated graphics driver for it to work properly, is that really it or is there something else I must do?(besides installing driver for video card) Also, how do I make sure I uninstall the correct driver?

The CPU I use is an intel I7-4770k on an ASRock extreme 6 motherboard.

You shouldn't even have to uninstall your integrated graphics diver. Your PC should pretty much automatically detect and switch to the new GPU. Installing a new GPU is about as plug and play as a mouse is. You put the GPU in your first, uppermost PCI-E slot, connect the proper power connectors, and boot your PC.

Yes. Actually, I will recommend leaving the integrated video driver in the PC for backup when the GPU has problems.
The integrated graphics is disabled when the GPU is in, so you shouldn't have any problems.
As enemy1g said, put your graphics card in the first PCI-E x16 slot closest to the CPU socket(usually has a different colour, but may not have).
