So as we all know, theres GCC version 7.1 and I wanted to have it on Fedora. dnf update only updates to 6.3.0, but I have this updating mania, so I really need to have the latest version. I know that I can download its source, configure and install, but then what do I need to uninstall first (nothing, only gcc, all gcc related things), will it install itself in a proper directory, so I won't have to add it to PATH?

GCC 6.3 is latest in the current Fedora 25. If you need a newer, you will need to update to Fedora 26 (currently Beta). How to upgrade your system is described in the following wiki page:
