ok well it looked as if this was just an OEM generated description but in your original post it said " Do I have to uninstall my other card." This made me think you had another aftermarket card installed in either a pci slot or PCIe slot. So you are just using the onboard graphics. I still need to know if your new card is pci or Pcie though. In any case, your power supply is a little on the lite site by modern standards but it will be sufficient for this card. As far as installation goes, do not fear a graphics card installation any more then you would a sound card. it is just another plug it in situation. You will likely need to disable your onboard graphics but that is why I was asking what slot your new card went it and if you had already purchased it or not.
K good then you might not have to even disable the on board video. this should be just as simple as open case, install the card, plug in the additional power supply to the card if it requires one, boot machine and install the driver package from nvida. Should be plug and play with no problems. follow basic precautions and use a grounding strap to avoid static discharge
