[SOLVED] No signal since moving components to new case

Hello guys,
I've got a very big problem here. I bought a new case (old corsair spec 03; new FD Define R6 TG) and the Corsair H115i Pro RGB AIO (old Arctic Freezer Xtreme rev. 2).
When these things arrived I started to move everything from the old case to the new.
Everything worked perfectly until I tried to start the system. The AIO and all other Radiators turned on, but I have/had no signal on my screen.
The AIO works fine (because I controled it). The RAM can't be the problem neither because he worked fine before. All (necessary) cables are connected to the MB.
Then I only tried to run the basic set-up with 1 Ram Stick, CPU Cooler (first tried the AIO, then with old Arctic). But nothing changed.
Following the next step was to try 1 Ram-stick in every possible input. So I did and tried every of the 4 Ram inputs with both Ram-sticks. Still nothing happend.
After I removed the CPU to take a look at it (i5 6600k), I saw that exactly 8 of the small CPU Pins on the MB have been damaged (twisted a bit). They were to close to each other and not as they should be. So I took every percent of concentration and precision I had and made them very carefully look like the rest. They are still connected to the MB and now look very similar to the rest.
My last idea was that maybe there could be an signal with another cable then HDMI so I tried but nothing. I only "see" black screen because there is no signal.
I don't know what to do now. I also removed the BIOS Battery for about 10 minutes. Also the CPU didn't look damaged or anything else.
Conclusion: Nothing worked whatever I tried to do. Do you have ANY idea what I maybe can still do? :??:
I checked every cable etc. minimum twice. :/

Full System (if it would work):

Motherboard: Asus Z170-A
CPU: i5 6600k
CPU Cooler: (new) Corsair H155i Pro RGB, (old) Arctic Freezer Xtreme Rev 2
SSD (with Windows 10 Pro): Crucial 120GB
GPU (if connected): ROG Strix GeForce GTX 1060 6GB
HDD (not connected to new build) WD Blue 1TB, same 3 TB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws V, DDR4, 2133 MHz, 2*8GB Sticks
PSU: Corsair VS 550

Greetings and thanks for (hopefully) answering.

PS.: My next step is to buy the Asus TUF Z270 and try the CPU there, because if the MB is done, I need a new one and I can't control the CPU otherwise.
 
Solution
the only other thing I can think of is those bent pins. might have something to do with it, even if you straightened them.

Have you tested the monitor on some other device?

Hi,
well the FD Define R6 already got pre-installed standoffs. So I can't install those.
The Manual also says nothing about that.
But thanks for the idea. Any further ideas?
Greetings

The Monitor is completly fine. I tried it with both of my monitors in HDMI and VGA.
You might be write with those pins but how can that be? Aren't they "only" there to connect the CPU with the MB?
