Hi. I recently ordered the parts for my first build. I while was waiting for the case to come, I put all the components into one box so that I could easily get to them. Of course when I picked up the AMD CPU box I didn't noticed that the top of the CPU could be touched by the side. Is it possible I killed it via ESD?
I think I killed the CPU before even installing it.

Extremely unlikely. Was there a static discharge involved when touching the cpu? (you would have felt it).

In 15 years of building PC's I've never had a problem with static. Just make sure you have grounded yourself before assembly (and if working on a suceptable surface, maintain regular contact with something in the case that touches bare metal like a screw.
Alrighty. Here is a status update. I started my build 6 hours ago and finished in two hours. During the time I notice as I pulled the CPU out it had a thin piece of plastic protecting it. This was my first build and I am happily posting from it now. Thank you all who responded.
