If I remember correctly, everything inside the white circles was just material for the screw heads to fasten to- however it looks like the damage on yours stretches out past those. I wouldn't be surprised if some traces were damaged in the process.
You could try using it, but in all honesty, I have no clue what damage this could cause to other components.
If the board is still under warranty you might be able to get it repaired/replaced, but this is pretty clearly user error- so get ready to be denied.
Worst case scenario this is a good learning experience, we've all totaled our share of hardware in one way or another. 🙂

Agree with the above but do a barebones set up outside of the case;
Do the barebones set-up on a piece of cardboard (make sure it is larger than the MB) only connect the PSU, the GPU, screen, 1 stick of RAM and the keyboard.
IF your MB doesn`t have a power test switch you will then need to short out the 2 power on pins on the MB header to get the PSU to activate, you can use a small flat bladed screwdriver or a paper clip bent into a U shape, this is perfectly safe if you do not touch anything else.
