It says for 70 or so pounds pcspecialist will send out somebody to help install the pc, will they also help me extract my gpu from my old pc and install it into the new one?

I have a gtx 1080 in my old rig and I don't feel confident about pulling it out myself.

Have you got access You Tube?

removing a GPU from one PC and fitting to another is really easy, potentially one of easiest jobs working with a PC.

The most important bit is asking PCS to route the cabling for the graphics card for the new PC.

it’s then just loosen a couple screws, jiggle the card gently with gentle pulling. The card will come out.

then for fitting, make sure you loosen off the blanking plate, remove that and keep screw in place, then gently locate card in to slot and push in to place.

tighten up screw, gently pinched in, then connect power cable to graphics card.


Pulling it out is easier, the tricky bit is pushing it gently in to the right slot.

As @Gavras said it is pretty easy with just a couple of screws and a clip.

Thank you guys, that video in particular helped me get my head around things. It was nowhere near as hard or as difficult asI thought it would be.

Thanks PCS for arranging for the right amount of cables too.

Fantastic well done! It would be great to see your new PC in 'Show of your new computer!'
