You’d need to register it with PCS, this will activate your warranty and they’ll setup an online account for you. Through there you can request upgrades.
Could you elaborate on what you mean by by register it with pc specialist
Thank you

If you phone them up or use the web chat, they’ll ask for proof of payment and then register it on their systems.
Ok thank you very much.
Is this a pc you bought, own and is in your house?
Or
is it a PC you have placed and order for and yet to receive?
also who is the ‘us’
So I have bought a pc from pc specialist and I own it and I’m looking for an upgrade but I was wondering what they would do to the graphics card which is what I want to upgrade. Would they keep the graphics card or give it back to me or even lower the price of the upgrade l.
Thank you
They send you a graphics card.
You remove the one fitted.
fit the new one you buy from them.
then it’s up to you what you do with the original one you bought.
No but there is an option where you give them back the pc and they add the parts back into it.
Yes but that is rather drastic for swapping a gfx card, if still going with same driver manufacturer, even easier.
The most important bit is your build.
things like PSU, case dimensions, cooling all become important, these need thought about before any upgrade.

And the delivery costs
I am not certain if they are, I don't see why they wouldn't be as such, you'd need to register it with PCS I would imagine before you can look - usually you log into your PCS account (on their main website) and your PC is available under your order page and you can upgrade it through there.
Not sure if it appears in the same place if you bought via a third party.
I'd imagine you'll need to contact PCS directly to ask though.

Hi, I want to upgrade my graphics card, which is right now a 1050, to a 1660 ti. My psu is a 350w and I am sure that is not capable for a 1660 ti.

@Kevbob45 I've merged all your threads together, the feedback is going to be exactly the same.
As already stated, you need to register the PC with PCS
if you’re looking to upgrade the GPU, then quite frankly, you’ve bought the wrong PC. I would strongly recommend returning it and getting something that meets your needs.
How would I return the pc I bought it from a year ago? The only reason I would like to upgrade the GPU is so I get more frames on Warzone and I also do not understand what you mean by registering with pc specialist.

You need to provide proof that you bought the PC new from Currys and that it's not been stolen and re-sold. You have to contact PCS and provide proof of purchase (your original receipt should do) and then PCS will recognise you as the legal owner of the PC. Until you've done that PCS will not support you.
