Hi Tigertank

If you google you can find vids on youtube that illustrate how to bend the pins in the CPU socket back into alignment. If you can do it you can continue gaming on your rig.

I am going to look for one now. This illustrates the principal http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-Bent-Pins-on-a-CPU

Alternatively your looking at i5 and a z68 board, and I guess you have DDR3 memory you can use, for example
YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £179.99
1 x Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £84.98
1 x Corsair Vengeance Low Profile 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CML4GX3M2A1600C9) £23.99
Total : £300.36 (includes shipping : £9.50).
