Im going to the UK and I need to ship my PC from China to Scotland(UK) (im an expat here) I want to know how to package my pc safely because UPS is taking it but im scared parts like my Videocard will be damaged or fall off and I was wondering if it is worth getting my NZXT 810 (planning to get it) before or after shipping because I have a HAF912 which seems more compact and possibly better for shipping?

my build is

Case: Coolermaster HAF 912
Mobo: ASrock 870extreme3
Ram:8gb g.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz
PSU:SeaSonic 620w (bronze80+)
VGA: ASUS GTX 560ti cuII
CPU:AMD x4 640 ii
Cooler: Corsair H80
Network Card: Bigfootkiller 2100

This is what is bothering me my gpu is kinda big on my smallish motherboard and im scared it would snap off should I padd the inside of the computer to prevent anything? should i get my sturdier case? and any suggestions on a strong full tower?

I think you should take the graphics card out, put it in another box and then put the whole thing in a box, but the graphics card in a separate box on top of the PC, get where I'm coming from? Everything else should be OK, and yeah I'd ship it in the HAF 912 and then put everything in your 810 once you're there.
 
Put bubblewrap inside and out side the pc. Also, I would take the gpu with you if your scared. This is the wrong section for your thread.
 
Sorry didn't realise this was the wrong section not sure where to put it
Another question I have is would using the box that came with the HAF with the protective material inside be ok? or should I use a custom one?
