Hello everyone,
A couple years back I purchased the ASUS ROG G20CB https://www.asus.com/us/Tower-PCs/ROG-G20CB/ (1070, 1TB) because I thought it had good specs at the time and I was very new to PC gaming. However I feel as though the time has come to upgrade to a custom built PC as I'm running into performance issues and very often need to try multiple times to start my PC before I can get to Windows.
To get to my question - I am very happy sticking with a 1070 for my new build, and would much rather just reuse the GPU from my current ASUS machine. I have found the following video of someone removing a GPU from what appears to be a similar model: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6w3H84lmt70
However after watching the video, the GPU looks like it is modified to fit into this small machine and doesn't look like other 1070s that I've seen. Could this GPU be reused (recommended / safely) in a new custom build? Can't say that I want to shell out funds for a new graphics card.
Thanks so much for any input!
