I have an HP Pavilion m9500z, with AMD phenom 9850 x4 2.5GHz, 6Gb RAM and Vista 64 bit. I want to upgrade the video card to BF3 capability. My current card is an NVIDIA GeForce 9500GS. Can I upgrade to something like a GTX580? If so, do I just unplug the old and slide in the new? Are there different fittings? Do I need to upgrade a fan or something as well? Is this something an obvious noob can do or should I call in a pro? Advice much appreciated.
