Whatsup everyone i am building a pc for my dad using some of my old parts mobo graphics card gtx960 and cpu fx8350 well since the usb 3.0 plugin is about half a inch under the rad h60 i bent the pins trying to get the 3.0 plugin so whilst unbending them one snapped so bought a asus 970 board, the cpu was also stuck to the old mobo so i had tp get a small flathead and tap on it with a screwdriver which resulted in bent pins on one side. I unbent the pins plugged everything in the fans work the water pump is working mobo has lights on graphics card fans spin but i get no post whatsoever on the screen, nothing! So i put the graphics card from my pc rx480 and still no post was just wondering since ive tried different ram configs taken everything apart and plugged it back in and still havent had a post would a cpu with bent pins stop a pc from posting? I purchased another fx8350 from amazon but would like to have confirmation from some experts on here, believe me i have tried everything clearing cmos freaking everything and this is the last thing i can come up with. This has been a build from hell believe me and i appreciate any help i can get from you guys

Hello there how are you? Hope you are having a wonderful day. By the looks of it i would say that the cpu is the cause here since the pins are very delicate and each one has to be in contact with the motherboard. Can you try borrowing a AM3+ series processor from a relative or friend and see if that works? In my opinion i think processor been done but one can always hope.
