I need to send my old graphics card in for repair, so can i put my old GPU in my new pc without damaging my other components?
The old GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 7800 series. 1GB GDDR5
My new pc has a asus z270-p mothermoard and an i5 7600k CPU.

Thanks in advance!

you can yes if both cards are AMD you probably don't need to remove the drivers
if they are different brands I would uninstall drivers and install new ones

Maybe? You need to have a QUALITY 500W PSU(or better) that has at least 1 6 pin PCe supplemental power cable.

Yep. And the driver issue.

It came with a GTX 1070, so it's different.

Should i instal drivers before putting in the GPU?

No. If you have Geforce Experience installed I would uninstall that and any other Nvidia based software in your Programs and features first. You can then download http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMD-Radeon-7000-Series-Drivers.aspx Power down and unplu your PC. Touch something metal and open your case. Install the AMD card.. Firmly install the 6 pin PCIe connector. Make sure to secure it with a screw or two. The end of it should have a depression or holes where the screw(s) go. When you have closed your case and are back in Windows you can install the driver you downloaded.
