Hello fellow forum goers
Here is my dilemma: I currently have the  HP h8-1520t with the integrated HD graphics 4000. I recently bought an EVGA GTX 760 and am unsure what steps I must take to ensure that it will work properly. So far I have found the geforce experience part on the geforce website, which appears to have the latest drivers, GPU boost 2.0, and shadowplay. The main questions I have are these: 1. Are those the latest drivers (and if not, what are they and where can I find them), and 2. Do I have to do anything with my integrated graphics in order for the 760 to function properly. Thanks everyone who reads this.

    Welcome to the forums..The latest drivers are always here from NVIDIA..The motherboard will normally (should) detect a graphics card in the PCIe slot and auto-disable the Integrated HD Graphics and switch to using the graphics card, but you can disable Integrated Graphics manually in the BIOS if you want to, shouldn't be necessary though..I would perform a Custom (Advanced) clean install and select only to install PhysX and HD Audio along with the driver for now and then see how everything works..You can install any of the other optional driver components anytime later if needed/wanted..GeForce Experience has caused issues for some people, but for the majority of users it works perfectly fine, just a heads up..You can get utilities EVGA Precision X 4.2.1 here or MSI Afterburner for overclocking, monitoring, on-screen display and more..MSI Afterburner has more features and has on-screen display support for 64-bit games.

    Might want to check that your motherboard has the latest BIOS. Your 760 may or may not be compatible. There have been plenty of posts from people with prebuilt system with incompatibility issues. I hope you don't have issues but wanted to point out this in case you run into the issue with the computer not posting. Report back if you have any problems.
