on the intel it has a few pins missing and sum are just bent
(i alreddy have the motherboards and processors)

Intel celeron D to AMD Sempron 3000

Would it not be cheaper to buy a new intel processor, rather than buying a mobo and AMD processor?

Yep as above
unless it is a socket 775 board with bent pins on the board , in which case just get a new board

 

[Rudster8161]

bend the pins back its not too hard...and what do you mean by some pins are missing?

 

[4fingerninja]

and if so how much

You might not have to re format. When I got my new board I kept a copy of XP on a HD just to make sure everything was running right. I put the new drivers and installed overtop the old ones and have not BSOD yet.
