You must attempt this yourself, but make sure to read the guide thoroughly before trying. Sorry.
I included two links in my response.
The GTX960 caused bottlenecks with your i7, though it depends on the games; if they’re not GPU-heavy, you should be okay. Otherwise, consider upgrading to a more powerful GPU if you have the budget.
