Hi, I'm building my first gaming rig and I know I might sound a bit paranoid but I'm not sure about this bent pin on the Motherboard. I don't remember exactly where it was, I think somewhere closer to the middle with the CPU. There were actually two that were just slightly a little bent. Should I worry about this?

Not in the socket. It is on the back

A picture of this bent pin(s) on the board would be the only way we'll be able to give you any useful advice as we can't be sure what you are talking about otherwise.

to be honest a bent pin on the back of the board seems to me like it would be a soldering joint for maybe a capacitor. so no worries if that is bent.

the picture should definitely help clarify tough.
