Will you fit a part I bought myself?

Yes. Bring the part and the machine, and the fit is quoted on the job. If the part turns out to be incompatible, that is found before the case is opened rather than after.

How much does installation cost?

It is quoted by the job and agreed before any work starts, because a graphics card and a power supply are not the same amount of labor. Nothing is charged beyond that figure without asking.

Will a new GPU need a new power supply?

Often it does, particularly on prebuilts with a 400W to 500W unit. The draw is checked as part of the fit, and if a new PSU is needed you are told before it is bought.

How it runs

Check the fit, then fit it.

Check the part fits the machine

Clearance, wattage, connector and BIOS support are confirmed before the case is opened, so a part that will not work is caught early.

Fit and configure

The part goes in, cabling is tidied and the BIOS is set correctly; an unset memory profile is the most common cause of a machine that feels slower than it should.

Test and hand over

Drivers are installed and the machine is loaded briefly to confirm stability. The part's original packaging goes back with you.
