Bent the pins on the 3700 like an idiot
I put too much thermal paste and wanted to check if it was ok. While trying to remove the wraith prism color over it made it pop out of the slot. The pins are bent, but not broken. Would Micro Center or any place for that matter, entertain trying to bend them back in place, or would they recommend me getting a new one? I…

I recently got my hands on a Ryzen 7 3700x with a Wraith Prism cooler and a Powerspec Bronze semi-modular 650w from a friend.

Powerspec Model B241- Graphics Cards that can fit
I have a model B241 with an AMD Ryzen 5 2400G, looking to upgrade to a Powercolor RX 580 8GB, but I don't know if it will fit.

Question about front USB ports
When I tried to use the front port to create a recovery drive it did not work. I put it in one of the rear ports and it worked. I can transfer files with the front port but there is no eject option on the taskbar under hidden icons, it was there when I used the rear port. Why is this?
