When the new video card arrives,

1. Uninstall the ATI drivers/software
2. Install the new Nvidia GPU
3. Install the Nvidia drivers/software.

Done.
What is a "ATI" sorry Im a complete noob, and when you say install the new Nvidia GPU does that mean open my case and put it in there?

ATi is AMD

Open search bar
Type: "Device Manager"
Find the "Display adapters" tree
Open it
Right click the video card, "uninstall"
 
Is it Recommended to or... because I really dont want to screw anything up
I have never swapped cards. Nvidia might do it for you. But if you end up with issues, double check.

No matter what, after the install, the other video card shouldn't be displaying in your devices. If it is, uninstall it.
 
Both I and IRL friends have installed new gpus without deleting the drivers from the old card and it's worked fine.
I have been informed that you might run into future problems with that I will use a UDD to unistall the drivers just to be on the safe side, thanks for the help everyone!
