intel{R} CORE{TM} i7-4770 [email protected]
12GB 64-bit memory
1TB Hard drive

It had a AMD 2gb radeon 280 video card in it .I have a GeForce gtx 1070 a to put in it so i had to put a cr500 power supply in it and the 1070 .the computer will not pick up the 1070 no matter what i do the 2gb radeon 280 video card shows as the card i took the 280 out .there is a program called GeForce experience that should pick the card up ..i had tried everything i know any help would be great

Yes, I have tried all that, the drive will not install because it can't find the video card { GeForce}.radeon driver was uninstalled, but it will not go away it shows in device manager every time

sure video card is right pin set for that board. Check see if that board will take that card. If so go to add device when asked for drivers load them from your cd if you have it . If you dont have them get them from card manufacture .

Have you the most recent video card drivers installed? Go to the MSI GeForce site and get their driver. Also uninstall the radeon driver and reboot with new vid card.

Also, you may need to use the Radeon software to remove the old video card driver.....it's a PITA but I have also assumed that the vid card you purchased is compatible with your motherboard.
