Good method for mailing a PC?

Hi guys,

I've a friend and his wife that wants me to build them a PC. I've no problem with it, however they live in TX whereas I'm in NV, so getting it to them is kinda difficult. I was thinking of building it, then putting the completed build in the box for the case and ship it to them that way. Would this be considered a safe way to do it? Any suggestions and input is greatly appreciated!

Current System Setup | Case: Corsair Obsidian 650D | CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K @4.0GHz | CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Hydro Series | Motherboard: MSI Z97 Gaming 5 | RAM: Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz 8GB (2x4GB) | Graphics Card: MSI Radeon R9 290X | SSD: Samsung EVO 840 250GB | HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB 7200rpm | PSU: Corsair HX750W 80+ Gold | Display: Dell UltraSharp 24" U2414H | Headset: Tritton Kunai | Mouse: EtekCity Scroll X1 | Keyboard: Microsoft SideWinder X4 RED LED

what's the build you are planning to do? i would take out the gfx card and let him install it because they usually come out really sagging and messed up. put A LOT of packing peanuts and secure it as much as possible.

If it will have a GPU, take it out of the PC and wrap it up securely in the bag it came in.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

It's a simple build. It will be APU based with no dedicated GPU.
