I recently purchased everything to build a new computer and I took out the AMD ryzen 5800x cpu and then it happened so fast, idk how but it fell onto the floor facing down. With a sickness in my stomach I looked and saw some of the pins have been bent. I very carefully attempted to bend them back into place. I was successful with a few, however there's a cluster of 4 or five I can't get back into place, with one that appears to have broken off completely. Is it possible to have a CPU sent in somewhere to be fixed? Or is it completely broken and I'm out 450 bucks?

First of all if you have a broken pin install it and see if the CPU works correctly. Many pins are redundant (like ground pins as an example). If it works correctly even when you stress test it then you can continue to use it .

I'm in a dilemma and need some advice. I have an order at Cyberpowerpc that's on hold because they don't have the 5900x in stock and no eta. They have the Ryzen 7 5800x in stock and want to know if I would like to change. Any opinions on the 5800x in DCS? It will be paired with a 3080 and 32GB of ram. I'm on the fence. If the difference is only a few fps I would be ok with down grading, but if it's 10 or 15 fps I would most likely wait on the 5900x.

I run a 5900X and have been wanting to get a 5800x to compare. I think you will be fine with the 5800x. A lot of the benchmarking videos show them to be within range of each other in gaming. And the 5800x is cheaper and available.
