So apparently I found out my motherboard pins were bent so I just really want know if that means the CPU is toast by the way I have an i7-7700k and an MSI h110m Gaming. Also my pc started up fine, including all fans and leds so can someone please help?

CPU's don't 'die' without being either DOA or over-volted for sustained periods.

Bent pins in a CPU socket will not damage a CPU in any way. System may not post, or be unstable... or a variety of other things, but the CPU itself won't be impacted.

Straighten out the pins if they're bad, reassemble and continue on. If they're only bent a tiny little bit and everything functions as it should (PCIe slots and memory, predominantly) then I wouldn't even bother trying to straighten them out.
