Right. But PC's like that are shipped all around the world, every day.
Make sure everything is securely mounted and tight. Put it in the original case box. Accessories go in another box.
If the recipient has little building knowledge, either you teach them how, or ship it fully assembled.

Not sure what coolers do cyberpower pc use, but I wouldn't ship a PC with a heavy CPU cooler installed without taking appropriate measures (fragile items shipping).
Some examples that I recall:

I just looked at cyberpower, and big coolers are definitely an option, along with all sorts of liquid solutions.
Hyper 212 EVO, Enermax, etc.

An R7 240 is a fairly small card so the only problem/risk is having an Hyper 212 installed during shipment. The only thing you can do is pack it well. Like many other electronic equipment desktop pcs are usually wrapped in an antistatic or just a regular plastic bag. Then they are fitted with a custom shaped styrofoam pieces that will give keep the PC as still as possible while not having too many contact points. You don't want to give the computer space to shake in the box which is what would make things get loose during shipment.

I did read the title and all one novice has to do is google video card to see how it's installed. Everyone use to know nothing about putting together a computer. There's a beginning to everything. Mine was getting a CPU with ~20 bent pins, unbending, fitting the CPU, cleaning paste on heatsink, applying new, and resitting. All you have to do is find the PCI-E X16 which is generally the longest PCI-E slot and they have a plastic holder/thingy at the end compared to PCI slots. The hard thing is installing a heatsink. Even for people who know how to do it it's a struggle sometimes depending on the space you have to work with, lighting, etc.
