So, I had some issues with installing the GPU in the case, and the GPU bottom (those metals things at the bottom) ended up scratching part of the motherboard. From what I can tell, there’s a bunch of similar components all the way up, so I’d think there’s redundancy, so I guess it’s not that important. Here is a picture:

PC boots fine into bios, fans work, stuff are recognized, mouse and keyboard also works, but I haven’t really done much beyond that.

Motherboard is: MSI B650 Gaming Plus Wifi

Should I get a new motherboard?

    Well it’s there for a reason. Might not cause issues all the time but under a heavy load it might. Shoud be cheap to repair though.
