You don't need to uninstall the Intel HD Graphics driver AFAIK. Just plug the new Graphics card and install the latest nVidia Driver. Also no manual switching from IGP to PCI-E is needed. When you plug a discrete GPU, IGP will be automatically disabled.

But tell me one thing, why a H67 chipset based Motherboard with a K series Processor?

Actually you could have gone with a Z68 Motherboard which provides display output for the Intel IGP. I was asking it because with H67, you can't overclock even if you're having a K series processor.
