Yeah but unplug your PC and stuff it is quite easy. If you think you could screw up then take it to where you know pros will do it and it should cost no more than $50 but that is the last option and read the manual it came with duh!

all you do is uninstall your drivers for that card turn your PC off then to removal and add the new one and turn it back on. Make sure it is unpluged.

be sure to stick it in the right hole and dont touch too much of the important stuff

Same advice that Old just said can be very useful when you're fornicating your significant other.

some more advise:

-ground yourself to the case before you touch anything
-make sure its the right slot (AGP or PCI)
-install the new drivers for the new video card
