[SOLVED] bad mobo?

[ccollins77]

ok someone help I'm stumped. friend gave me his old pc, has amd fx6300 cpu, asus gtx750TI gpu, 4 sticks of ddr3 ripjaw 4g RAM, and a MSI 970A-G43 mobo.. my problem is I cant get an input signal on my monitor. all in all ive checked the graphics card in my PC works fine. ive put my graphics card in his PC, no input signal. ive reseated the RAM and even switched which slots the sticks sat in. which leads me to think that maybe the mobo is bad? please help

Potentially the MB, potentially the PSU... Potentially other aspects (RAM compatibility, etc).

What PSU is powering this system?

Psu: antec truepower 750

Yes, i tried both slots and even swapped out the graphics card for mine and tried in both slots. Still nothing..

I might have found my problem.. theres a few bent pins. Im guessing i need to get a new cpu? Or can i bend them back?

Ok so news update i manage to unbend all the pins and then on the last one to unbend it broke off lol, just my luck... can i get some recommended cpu's, i mainly want to use the pc for gaming on world of warcraft and overwatch and maybe a few other titles. Not really looking to maximize graphic settings.
