I was given the PC as it was damaged during shipment. 7700K/ NZXT Water Cooled AIO with 32gig ddr3200 on a MSI Z270A, 256 gig m.2 and 1Terrabyte spinner drive with a GTX 1070 in a damaged NZXT 340 elite case. The bottom was bent up to the Power supply and no other damage was seen. If I move all the components to a new case and none of the other components are damaged there is nothing I need to do as far as licensing, correct? I plan on Re-formatting and using it as home Theater PC. or just sell it cheap as I have no money invested :) Opinions please and thanks

If the PSU was banged-up enough that a corner was damaged like that, then I WOULD worry about the weight of the GPU, and the structural integrity of the primary PCI-E x16 slot.

PSU was not touched, just the case was bent a bit. I am fairly sure that there is no other damage and am changing the entire contents into the other case and will cross my fingers.
Will let you know. Thanks

No reason why you wouldn't try to see if it still works.
Disassemble, clean, inspect, replace what's doubtful and reassemble in a new case.
Reinstall the OS if you wish.
Run a few torture tests overnight.

If all goes well, you got a free PC :)

Well....I have a free PC.....I7 7700K, 32 gig ddr2800, MSI 270 pro, a 256gig 3.2 for Operating Sys, 3 terabyte Toshiba 7200, gtx 1070. 1000 watt Thunderbolt Power supply. I purchased a Rosewill Zircon M ATX mid tower gamming case just to see the build of the case. actually not a bad case. not the best but it works fine. After poking around to see what is on the HD I will Reformat and re install OS.
Only problem I found is the release tab for PCI slot was broken .
