...(hatred, starting to, boil!)
*sigh, wish my mother would understand...
oh, to help you with the power supply; since that's all there is, I think you simply replace it, no installation, no precaution except need to make sure the power supply, has enough power for your massive computer to compensate for your

they are universal for the most part. The only thing you need to be careful about with power supplies is to make sure that the new one has the same or a higher power rating then the one you are replacing. Just plug it in into the components exactly how the old one was, they are to the point now where the cable ends will only fit if you have them in the proper hardware, ie motherboard, cd-rom etc. we should play some dota soon.

Make sure that you have enough put a surge protector in for all your computer power lines. In the case when there is a sudden power surge or failure, that will protect your hardware from getting damaged esp. parts like Motherboard or Hard drive. When you get a new power supply, just be sure to check the amount of power you need for both your computer and your v-card. I once bought a 350-watt power supply and ended up having to return it because it cannot run both the motherboard and nvidia 7800GS
