your mobo is most likely dead. You can try a computer repair store, but they might just stare at you and then laugh... true story

RMA the motherboard if you didnt buy it too long ago and dont tell them you bent it

I don't have time for that, I'll be out of the country in 2 weeks, plus I was suppose to use this for my uncle's build.

Can't I just go to the store I bought it from and say the pins were bent  when I opened it?

if you got it from a physical store you can try taking it back if not then you have to buy a new one

You can try, no guarantees they'll take it. I'd do this before you did anything else, though.

Better to have died trying to have built a PC than to have lived never building one...or something like that.

So, if they don't take it back what do I do?

Why don't you try returning it before you try fixing it considering those pins are incredibly fragile and easy to break

Ok, will do.
