Thanks for all the help. I got it fixed last night! It wasn't the ram. Some pins were bent alright, and I straightened them. But I couldn't re-attach the processor with the heat sink attached to it. So I removed the processor from the heat sink using floss, cleaned off the old thermal paste, re-attached the processor to the motherboard, applied new thermal grease, put back on the heat sink and away it went!
So it turns out it is quite hard to break a PC after all
