When you ask, how do I do it, do you mean actually connect the video card to the board?

You MUST have the PC shutdown and disconnected from AC power before installing the card.

The video card must be installed in the blue slot. Be sure to unlock the locking clip at the end of the slot at first, and then close the locking clip when the card is in the slot. The video card must be screwed into the PC case, at the back of the case.

After you install the card, to shorten the start up time of the PC, go into the BIOS, find the Chipset Configuration screen, and find the Primary Graphics Adapter option, and set it to PCI Express.

That's an easy one my friend.  There will be a major performance benefit for just stepping up to the GT 610.  There is nothing you have to do in the BIOS, but you will have to plug your video cable into the GPU now.  Not the motherboard.  If you use the motherboard's video port it will just use integrated.  Use the GPU video port.  After physically installing the card, you will need to get drivers from Nvidia's website.  Which you can download here https://www.geforce.com/drivers. ; Just go through the drop down boxes and select your card.  If you have any problems just let me know.
