You don't need to an expert to install a graphics card 
It's as simple as loosening some screws and sliding the card out of the slot.

Hi. Nope. Just take out the screw holding in the exist card or cover plate and then carefully insert the new card in the slot ( if PCIe, it would be black and the topmost slot ). Once the card is in, just go to the Manufactuire's site and down load the drivers and stuff. A lot of the newer cards have and addtional power source in the back and you woulf need to plug them in as well. It would be marked as PCIe and 6 Pins ( some cards will use 8 pins ).

Yep, they've nailed it. Remove a few screws, slide it in, and then install the driver for it.

Assuming you just took the card out of its box, you shouldn't have to download drivers. The box should contain a CD.
And an instruction booklet, which may tell you to install the drivers first.

Hey Lincoln, True, but I prefer to go and get the latest WHQL drivers ( I don't do Betas ) from the manufacturer.
