Hello. I have ordered new graphics card and processor cooler and I want ask you guys if someone that never changed pc components (me) can change old graphics card for new one and old processor cooler for new one . I mean it dont look that difficult on youtube but is there anything I can break or I dont know what? Or should I pay guy in computer store to do it for me ? Paying someone would be like 10% of price of those things I ordered.

Installing graphics card is easy, I definitely wouldn't pay anyone to do that. Installing a cooler may be a little bit harder (also depends on which cooler you got), but between the instructions and youtube guides I'm sure you'll be fine. Although depending on how much you paid for the cooler, if you can get someone to install it for a few bucks I'd be tempted to that just out of laziness, haha.
