I'm building a computer for the first time and I'm unable to buy my own GPU. My cousin had one sitting around as an extra an told me i could use it until I get my own but I have no idea if the GPU he gave me could have been damaged by static. What I'm asking is, can parts damaged by static damage other parts when installed?

Well he had it sitting around in his closet and it might have gotten damaged by some static, so I was wondering if it could harm my other computer parts if it were damaged by static.
