Question Fried motherboard because of screwing it on wrongly, need advice

[oba123]

Hello,

I was building a new PC with my old PC components with a new case+motherboard. So naturally I had to reinstall the motherboard into the case. I screwed the motherboard on directly to the case, which killed the motherboard. Before it totally died, the system was working totally fine. Windows was installed and GPU was 100% working. After that I decided to do some cable management, so I moved the PC to a table. Next boot attempt, the system booted but the GPU gave no video output at all. The fans did spin, and stopped spinning immediately after I booted. After that I moved the case onto a table, so the motherboard inside was probably being hurt by the movement. I checked the cables and tried to boot again. This time nothing turned on, motherboard was dead. Some pins on the back side of the motherboard are visibly bent.

Should I get a new motherboard from a trustworthy seller for a cheap price, or take the CPU and GPU to a computer specialist to check if there are other components dead?
I'm wondering if I should take it to someone, because there is a chance a fried component can fry a new motherboard again when reinstalled.

Is getting a new motherboard without getting components checked worth the risk? Motherboard will only cost around $40.

Components are:
Corsair CX650M 2021 PSU (newly bought)
Intel i7 6700k
Nvidia GTX 1060 6gb
Asus H110M

It's pretty dated system you should consider upgrade. If not, new MB should be in order as it's very unlikely a short would damage anything else.
