so i was installing it just to see how it fits in my new case as im installing fans, and i felt a small static shock go into the card and my processor doesnt come in till next week, is it broken most likely?
Most likely???
No.
Very few discrete components these days are overly sensitive to ESD (electro static discharge), and even less so once they are installed in a circuit.
It's possible, but I wouldn't worry about it until you get a chance to test it.

What kind of gloves? That most likely is not helping at all, and may even be counterproductive since many types of gloves are more prone to static charge buildup than your body is.i say 50/50 chance if its intense. i always wear gloves. not one incident since
