Do you guys think this this can be repaired ? And could someone recommend me a cheap motherboard that can handle a i5 760 and a gtx 1050 4 gb

Use a mechanical pencil with no lead in it to straighten any bent pins. If the damage was done while the socket is totally unpowered, there's hope for repair, but if power has ever been supplied to the socket during the time the pins are bent, and the cpu was in the socket, it's a good chance both are now toast as you just short-circuited an incorrect voltage right through the cpu.

Either way, good luck.

"this", requires a picture of the damage to properly assess.

But, this was one of my systems late last year.
