Help with dell sff 5000 build

Just got a used dell optiplex 5000 for £260 with i5 processor planning on makeing into light gaming machine,i noticed 2 things first i arrived i noticed some light condansation on the bubble wrap i asked the seller and he said before packaging it he cleaned it with a cloth and disinfectant cant see any efidence of mousture on the inside and even a thin layer of dust plus had not been desturbed i notice these scratches on the motherboard ill add a picture ive checked the pc works fine and it looks like its never had anything added or worked on, i left the unit on for a while ran onboard diagnostics and give the inside a clean with 99 percent isoproply alchol and papper towel,could the scratches just be a manufacturing issue when the machine was constructed i know its stupid but i get these things on my mind and spoil the experance of building could you help please.
