I have a quick noob question. If I installed a different graphics card, than what it came with, will my alienware aurora boot disks still work correctly to reinstall windows? I would just need the new 680 driver right? I just don't want to run into problems if I can avoid it.

Yeah it should work, worst case scenario once the installation finishes and reboot to log in into windows for the first time it will hang while loading windows, just restart and select safe mode, once inside windows simply uninstall current video drivers (assuming those disks automatically install specific video drivers), restart and then it should log into windows with no problems at all.
