It's probably fine, though the worst case scenario is that the rear audio ports will stop working. That's not too big a deal, external sound devices aren't that expensive for the "good enough" ones (though the good ones can get pricy pretty quickly), and a lot of gaming headsets use a USB connection anyway. The scratch is distinctly in the audio section of the motherboard, so it's the only portion of the board that has the chance of being affected. 

A big topic in the UK recently has been how those with disabilities (such as those needing to lip-read or mental disorders) are exempt from wearing face masks.  Since many of these conditions are invisible to everyone else, this has led to multiple incidents where they are very publicly abused verbally for this exemption.  During the extended video of this report today from the BBC, another incident caught my eye.
 
A family covered in the report has a 10-year old child with Sensory Processing Disorder, which means if they have anything hooked over their ears or face, they become exremely distressed.  Per the Covid guidelines, all children under 11 are exempt from wearing face masks.  As you can imagine, however, members of Apple have been challenging this - they banned the child from entering a store because he wasn't wearing a face mask...
 
Whilst Apple's policy makers have stated they are complying with the UK Government's Covid guidelines, reports by other news outlets state all Apple Stores are still being told to employ a "no mask, no entry" rule.  Why can't Apple ever just do what they're told?!

I'm not trying to create clickbait.  There are other businesses who've been ignoring the government rules, but it almost seems as though Apple wants to stay in the news, even if that news embarasses them.

It could quite possibly be the PSU, just because it works without load doesn't mean it can't run a PC. I'd turn off all power, unplug the PC and short out the CMOS reset, get a PC speaker and connect it to the board so you can hear the beeps, if you get 3 beeps it means RAM issue (depending on board), the VS550 isn't exactly a good PSU, one of the cheapest nastiest Corsair have ever had on their lineup.

Yeah I spoke with CoolerMaster about getting a backplate for my 212 Evo, they said at least a week ago that the wait time for them is at least 12 weeks, something which is stupid considering they are producing the heatsinks with the backplate already in the box, it's obvious they don't really care for the old consumers, probably want you to buy a new cooler from them. 
 
Noctua or Bequiet! will be the cooler I buy to replace the stock 3700x cooler once I've got some cash and can be bother with dismantling my PC again.

I probably should have warned you that there is an active group of Seasonic M12II haters on this board. I have no idea how this started, but most of them just repeat the same three talking points over and over and have no idea whether its good or not. The M12II a very good budget PSU and very reliable.  Seasonics reputation for reliability is in no small part based on this units long term performance. It has anchored their low to mid range offerings for 15 years.

As a DRP3 owner I am familiar with that problem.  It's nothing that a flashlight (to see what you're doing) and a flathead screwdriver can't deal with. 
You just have to be careful not to slip off the little tab, or put some electrical tape around the tip to somewhat protect the motherboard if you do. 
 
 

That large jump at around 50C would personally drive me up a wall, but aside from that it's not bad. I'd probably do something a bit more like this on one of my systems:
 

If you want to spend a little more on the Tomahawk that would be the better buy.

It's not a bad speed for free, if you live close enough you could probably just use this all the time with a VPN, I know I would with those speeds.

Ever tried to download a borgar?

RX 580 because you can get a nice Freesync monitor to pair with it, at that price point AMD makes sense.

I'm not interested as I'm happy with my GTX 1070 but after seeing the 1070ti in the other thread getting likes I thought I'd link this deal, it's from eBuyer who are a decent company although after sales can be a issue.

"More reliable" even though the pump can fail, the pipes/radiator can crack leaving you with damaged hardware, the only thing air cooling can do is a fan fail which won't damage you hardware and fans can fail on AIO.

Seriously are you off your rocker? This isn't good run away.

Apparently it's Battleye interfering, it's the only game that does this to my knowledge and it's one of the worst for cheaters!

I'm not that great on this kind of stuff although others will come by soon, you can get Sata to IDE adapters and use whatever HDD you want.

I remember getting my LPX DDR3 back in 2012 for £35 now if I got the same in DDR4 it'd be at least £80 and they complain about people not buying new hardware, why bother when a 3770k can still play all the games anyone could dream of at 60 fps minimum.

Nahh...
 
Unless it's your "average joe" miner who uses his gpu in his gaming rig to mine whilst not gaming on it, no sympathy towards them tbh.

Who do you work for? "You don't have to buy it" is bullshit, if you want to live in the 21st century then you need RAM to build a PC.
