If you bought and plan on installing a separate video card for your new computer please continue below. If you bought a motherboard that has onboard video built in, you may skip this step.

1. Remove the card from the original packaging and look at the slot type on the card. It should match the slot that is on your motherboard. (AGP and PCI Express are currently the most popular video card types) 
   
   
2. Hold the card in the proxmity of where it will be installed in the slot. You will need to remove the back cover plate with your screwdriver where the card will stick through the back of the case.
   
   
3. Gently install the card into the slot, by pushing until it fits snug into place. There may be an extra tab as part of the slot the wraps around and helps secure the card.
   
   
4. Replace the screw that you removed for the slot, to secure the card to the back of the case.

That is it for the video card installation, not too difficult is it? Next we need to attach the power supply connector(s) to our motherboard.
