Use a 'clean install' option on GeForce Experience or use Driver Sweeper to get rid of the old drivers.

You just take out the old PSU and put in the new PSU. Of course you'll have to spend some time disconnecting then reconnecting things and tidying up the cables. Double check you have done all the connections 100% OK though.

You can uninstall the drivers from control panel > programs and features, the setup program for the driver should ask if you want to remove all components answer yes. You can already download the latest driver package from nvidia.com or amd.com depending if your new card is a nvidia gtx based card or amd radeon based card.

For the psu you just remove the old psu and install the new one on it's place, be carefull when removing and installing cables. It's good practise to shutdown the power and unplug the power cable and let the computer be a few minutes before uninstalling the psu to make sure there are not any power surges.

You remove the old power supply including all of the cables attached to that power supply.

Uninstalling drivers need to be done properly in order to avoid driver and performance issues. A lot of people still do this the wrong way.

However, It's a simple process. You need to install DDU (Driver Display Uninstaller) and it removes everything related from the driver with once click of a button:

It also removes registry files which some applications or methods don't do.

After you have rebooted you simply install the newest driver from Nvidia's website like you mentioned yourself.
