Hello guys, I need a quick answer. Do I need to uninstall anything before installing my GTX 750 ti?

I have this Intel® G45 Express Chipset in my pc, do I need to disable anything?

Can I also get a few steps on how to correctly install my card. ( Like, what to uninstall and anything needed to do after that.

Thanks

You don't really need to, but more drivers = slower pc and it may cause issues in the future.

I'd uninstall the gpu drivers
1) go to control panel
2) add/remove programs
3) find the intel drivers installed
4) install new gpu and drivers

I've never had to do that. Don't do anything. Shut-down, install the card, Turn ON. Upon boot, disable new hardware wizard/driver download and go to nvidia.com to get he latest driver for the GTX 750. You should be good to go.
