No the CV PSU's aren't modular so the cables can't be removed from the PSU. What you can do is unplug a cable then replug the new cable from the new PSU into the slot. Do this one by one to make sure you have everything plugged in where it should be. Then fit the cables and plug it into the PSU after all the cables have been plugged into the motherboard.

Thank you Steveyg, I really do appreciate the that you and others are giving me.
Seeing as I will be purchasing the new PSU from PCS, I think I will have the PC returned to them so that they can install the new PSU and run any tests that they need to do. At least I will know it's done properly and that if there are further problems with it I can call on them for support)

On the PSU that you have at the moment all the cables are built in to the PSU, with the RMx they are modular so you only plug in those that you need.
Replacing it isn't as daunting as you think, the best way i found to do it was unplug everything that comes out of the existing PSU, remove it, then start laying the new cables in from the end of the items that they supply, then route the cables back to the new PSU and then plug them in

I think that would be best. PCS are amazing doing a cable management. However, it may take some time until all is done.
I would suggest RMx 850W over RM 750W. RMx is slightly better quality (actually, the best from what PCS have) and 850W in case you'll need more power in future. Difference is very small but PSU tend to loose a little bit (can't remember the percentage) capacity in years. It's best to invest in to a quality and reliable PSU because it will take care of giving power (which is same important as food for people) to your PC.

That's a great choice. They are quiet and cool. Its turns on only when temperatures hits higher while cheaper PSU fan runs constantly. That's just one of their advantages.

Well, not wishing to tempt fate here, my replacement GPU has arrived, and after an hour there is no game crashing. With the original GPU games were crashing almost instantly. Perhaps it was just a faulty GPU.
I think I will still upgrade the PSU, but rather than sending the PC back to PCS, I will probably purchase one from Amazon and have a go at installing myself, seeing as my wanting to upgrade the PSU can't really be classed as a fault with the PC warranting an RMA.
I did initially forget to plug the PCIe cable into the GPU, which resulted in an error on my screen when I booted up the PC, saying words to the effect that I need to plug the PCIe into the GPU.
Many thanks to everybody who assisted me here. One thing I have learned is that if ever I wish to have a custom built PC in the future, I will come here and post the intended specs first.
