PCPartPicker is the industry-standard tool for planning custom PC builds, highly regarded for its ability to organize part lists and automatically filter for component compatibility. While it is praised for its price aggregation and wattage estimation, experienced users treat it as a high-quality guide rather than an absolute authority, often double-checking specific physical clearances and motherboard QVLs.
Pros
- Automated compatibility filters prevent major errors like mismatched CPU sockets or motherboard sizes.
- Aggregates real-time pricing from multiple major retailers and provides price history data.
- Provides estimated wattage to help users select appropriate power supplies.
- Enables easy sharing of build lists for community feedback and browsing of completed user builds.
Cons
- Compatibility engine may not account for motherboard Qualified Vendor Lists (QVL) for RAM.
- Physical clearance checks for GPU dimensions and case space can occasionally be inaccurate or bugged.
- Wattage estimates are often conservative and may overstate actual power requirements.
- Does not automatically include specific local deals or in-store bundles like those from Microcenter.

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is widely regarded as the "gold standard" utility for completely removing graphics drivers. It is the go-to recommendation for users switching between GPU brands (Nvidia to AMD or vice versa) and for troubleshooting persistent issues like black screens, BSODs, or driver conflicts that standard uninstallers fail to resolve.
Pros
- Effectively removes all driver remnants and registry traces that standard uninstallers leave behind.
- Highly effective at resolving driver-related stability issues, such as black screens and BSODs.
- Essential tool for switching GPU manufacturers to prevent software conflicts.
- Helps fix specific display bugs like incorrect native resolution or refresh rate limits.
Cons
- Some users report technical hurdles, such as options being greyed out in certain configurations.
- The process can be intimidating for novice users unfamiliar with system-level maintenance.

This is the most common, best tool for doing that.
If you are using a different gpu in the new rig, you will need to use DDU in safe mode to wipe the drivers for your old gpu before you install the drivers for your new gpu.
Download Display Driver Uninstaller, and uninstall your AMD drivers (not always necessary, but good practice).
Just use DDU to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers, then install the AMD ones.
After follow your advice, i used the DDU to clean everything that was on my pc from my old graphics cards( RX 6650XT AND GT 210) and i made an clean installation of the driver from the Nvidia game ready app, after that the PC is now working 100% without black screens on the boot, thank you so much for you help!
