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

It’s located here, and on them, it is written K72 then vertically smaller K2 (the 2 has an underline):

Should I get a new motherboard?

Edit: Better quality image, and new image host added.

    Audio from jack appears… to be working fine. Obviously I am just going by ears and some songs playing, so I can’t tell if some minor frequency or noise is present.

      There’s 6 audio ports on the back of the motherboard (which is why it looks like there are extra/redundant parts) and it could be any of them, not just the main stereo (green) output. But if your main audio is working fine, it should be usable.
