Hello everybody,
2 years ago I build my first PC, including an AMD A8 6600k APU and 8gb of HyperX Ram (1600mhz) and a 500W psu. Today I bought an Sapphire Nitro R9 380 GPU with 4GB ram, and I'm aware that my current processor will bottleneck the GPU that I bought. I bought it because I think it atleast gives a nice boost in graphic performance as the integrated graphicscard can be a bit shitty on some games. Also I'm planning on buying a new CPU and motherboard in the future (> 6 months), I don't have the money for it at the moment.
My question is: "How am I supposed to get this to work". I've read in the manual that I have to disable the integrated graphics, uninstall the drives etc. But I have no clue on how to do this. Is there anyone here who can give a how-to-do list (in order) on how I suppose to install this card? I know how to put it in the slot etc, but I do'nt know what to do afterwards in what order. i don't want to screw up anything so the R9 380 is still in his box
.
Also, if you have the time, can you also give an opinion on what performance boost I might expect including the bottleneck.
Thanks in advance!

It's a modular PSU. IS it really that simple? Because I 've read some stuff here and there and everyone says differen stuff haha. You know, disable or not disable, uninstall drivess or not unintstall drivers etc.. Since it is an APU.
