Help me I'm a newbie at Ubuntu or Linux.

I have a NVIDIA Corporation:GF 106 [Geforce GTS 450]

I thought I could just change my driver on the "Additional Drivers: menu for my video card but when I click the other options then "Apply Changes" it goes back to the Nouveau display driver.

(Can't post picture) Picture link : http://s21.postimg.org/tjn690m93/nvidia.png

I have learned that I can install it using Bumblebee? or from nvidia directly? I have read a bit of things about it but still don't understand any of it.

What's the difference about it and what should I use?

And how do I install the correct drivers for my video card?

If it would be any help this is my specs

Please refer to ASK UBUNTU Question How to set up nVidia Optimus/Bumblebee in 14.04 That will most likely solve your issue. Follow the Guide and I am sure you will be able to setup Bumblebee correctly.

If you want to understand what bumblebee is and how does it work. Look at my blog for extra information.

This is for additional information and understanding. However the askubuntu Link referred above will solve your problem !!
