No, install it as the last item, after u are sure, that everything works : )

Only if u have video card and u need it for the lcd connection, than u install this with another drivers and updates.

ok i better unplug the usb, HEADER ( FOR CARD READER 0 ) AND unpull out pci card

Well, it depends on your hardware, If u have it in than install it, video card is important for installation. Other PCI devices can wait.

And best thing is to get the drivers ready on USB stick. So u can just install everything quickly.

And smart way to do all that, is to connect all that u need to run it off of the case, just in the case of any problems. Troubleshoot outside of the case.
