How can I upgrade my graphics card?
I want to upgrade my desktop's graphics card for gaming. I don't know how to do it and that really isn't the problem since I can ask someone to do it for me, my problem is mainly that I don't know what else am I supposed to. If I upgrade the graphics card, am I supposed to upgrade my power supply? How about my cooling? I have no idea.
Also, could any one you recommend me an excellent graphics card to upgrade to? My current one is an AMD Radeon HD 6570
My computer is an AMD Phenom II X6 1055T Processor 2.80 Ghz
I am looking to be able to play on ultra graphics on new games such as skyrim, black ops, etc. Will there be a problem with my processor?
To make things easier, this is what I have

well upgrading the power supply mainly depends on your cpu and if its overclocked and other factors usually. Liquid cooling is a great way to go if you are gaming go with a corsair h50 or something. The graphics card depends on your gaming if u play ultra or at what resoultion there are the new 7970 3gb but those are only needed for high gaming or u can just get like 2x 6950 or 2x 6870 or single.

the card itself should supply the cooling you just need to check what power supply your new graphics card will require. As for installing it look on YouTube.
