I've bent pins on a few AMD processors and they all worked after unbending the pins. It's when the pins break off that you have a real problem. While you are unbending the pins you're probably not going to unbend them perfectly so you might need to use a little force when putting the CPU into the socket.

Depends how bent. Try it. If it doesn't work put the mobo in for a non warranty RMA.

Yes - all graphics cards work in all motherboards. No graphics cards require any more than pcie2.0x8.

I think the better question is... Will my power supply be enough for my graphics card?

use a credit card to bend them back into place, I bent my 8350 pins a couple of weeks ago too but it worked perfectly after using the credit card to bend them back, just slot the card in and slide it through gently, just make sure the card isnt too thick or too thin.
