bad striker II formula what to do next????

okay to make things short my motherboard went bad, the fans come on but no beeps or POST. So I sent my computerback towhere I bought the board from.come to find out this email was in my inbox

Hello Ricardo,

I have received the replacement motherboard and we are ready to proceed, however after removing your processor we noticed extensive damage to the CPU pins which is not covered under warranty. This damage could only have resulted from improper handling of the processor when placing it in the socket. The motherboard will cost $200 to replace if you choose to do so. The video cards are still under warranty. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.

Thanks,

Dave

now to get this straightened out it was like that to begin with they were entact but it still worked from me using it. I asked them to send my comp back and was wondering what you think I should do? its in warranty with asus so should I just send it myself and see what the outcome is? Or just buy a whole new board for alot cheaper likefrom newegg(200 is way too much)?I need someones opinion that this is happened to and what was the outcome
