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.

Looks like a mosfet got broken. I am no electro-ologist, but it is probably going to have weird voltages wherever that mosfet serves. Might be okay for a while or maybe not.

If I wanted to save the board, I’d order a replacement from Digikey or elsewhere. Just ID one next to it and order it up. Have a finer tip on the soldering iron and Bob’s your uncle!

I first read that as "finger tip" and was wondering why you were telling OP to burn themselves
