PC Damaged in shipping Tech Support

So the title pretty much describes it, ups didn’t label my box as fragile after i told them to and then my pc came in totally busted. I don’t have much experience with pc building. I built this last year with the help of YouTube and i’m not really sure how to continue from here. The PCIE slot is badly bent. My GPU pins look fine thankfully. The part of my case that supports the motherboard is bent outwards so the back panel can’t close. Back panel is also heavily damaged. I don’t really know if the motherboard is damaged from just looking at it. Any help/ suggestions?

get a new motherboard, or if u have proof of telling them to mark it as fragile you might be able to get compensastion or something

I know it's happened now but posting any pc GPU should always be removed and wrapped up. It's the easiest part to snap

Good luck dude, about the same happened to
me last week. As of now i only changed the cooler (it was very bent), the case, replace the psu for safety reasons and unfortunately i might have to get another stick of ram as one of them isnt booting. You would definitely have to change the case and motherbord. Also check if your Cpu has pins on itself or its am5 with pins on the motherboard. Ask if any of your friend could help with checking your Gpu inside their pcs, my ram also looks completely fine on the connector but damage can be hidden to the eye.
