Hi, I'm getting into PC gaming and I'm building a PC for the first time. I've setup everything but no display on my monitor. I've followed the checklist:

I haven't actually connected my speaker system on my motherboard but I don't know how. I'm using ASRock B85M-ITX and this is what it looks like:
I'm sorry if the picture quality isn't that good but you can do a quick Google search for a better picture of it. Anyways, any idea on how to plug it in? I know it might sound like a noob question but yes, I am a noob and I'm sure there are many questions like this in the world of technology. It would really help.
But my dad had a closer look at the CPU socket and he said the pins are bent or too short. I can't see much of a difference but here's what it looks like:
He said the pins are bent somewhere in the corner but I honestly can't see it. If that is the case, what should I do? Can I fix it? And I'm sorry about the picture quality again but I could really use some help since there's a variety of answers on Google and I don't know which one applies to my situation since I have little knowledge about PC. My first impression was a letdown since people tell me it's easy to assemble a PC but it's been a hassle so far. I've spent $1000 so far on the whole system so I'm freaking out right now.
