Good evening all,
So recently I bought a new GPU and CPU. I upgraded to a GTX 960 4gb from a Radeon HD 7850 2gb, and up to an FX-8320 8 core from a Phenom II x4 965 quad core.
The GPU arrived already, waiting 2 days for the CPU before I put them both in.
My question is, how does upgrading a PC for the first time affect my current BIOS and drives? Do I need to delete all the old drives before I put in new parts, do I update the BIOS? I'm confused on this part.
Is there ANYTHING I need to do to my PC before I pull out the old parts and put in the new?
Cheers Tom's Hardware!
