Well like i said, We don't really have enough for a whole system like other people so i went with something else, I bought a Radeon3850 off New egg and it should be here in about 3-5 days, Depending on fed x..

and i want to know how to i remove my old one, And install my new card

Thanks., Also i've never installed a video card before, but it can't be really hard.

basically uninstall the drivers to your current card, then turn off the machine(of course) and take out the old card.

Then put the new one in in the exact same spot and make sure all the power connections are properly connected.

Start up your machine and use the CD that came with it to install drivers. If you have no driver cd just google ati drivers and find the right ones for your new card.

yeah, theres also little white tabs (depending on motherboard) that you have to press to release the video card from the slot, just dont yank it out it could quite possibly break it (happend to me on my first pc) lol

Thanks you two and so that's what the little white thing is , I know this because i open my case to put fans in it and saw it, But never touched it now i know what it is!

basically yeah, there should be two white thingys at the ends of the GPU, gently pressing down on them should cause them to snap open, and then the GPU should come out without too much hassle, always remember, if you need to apply force on a computer component to move it, you're doing something wrong!! after you've removed the old card, clean the contacts a bit, you never know what might have gotten in there, insert the new card, and gently press down on it until you hear a click and see those white things pop down to fix the GPU into place. Nudge it a bit so you make sure it's firmly in place, download your new card's drivers, and you're good to go!!
