Got new Corsair PSU and everything seems to work fine. No damage!

Thank You Very Much!

Considering between the RM750x and the EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3. Which one of these would you consider?

Just want to be sure there's nothing wrong with the strip as well. Plus they are not that expensive. So ill give it a shot once I get a new PSU.

Yeah I'm starting to suspect that this is what happened, but it might of killed the PSU, so who knows. I'll just buy a replacement and test it. I'll try to get a new strip and plug it into another outlet after I get the new PSU

Any replacement PSU recommendations?

I've been using this PSU on this rig for over 8 years now with no problems. A few years ago I upgraded the MOBO and and RAM, really lucked out on upgrading the PSU. It was on my list but flew out of my head lol. Overall, this rig was working really well for 8 years and this is the first time it acted up like this. Anyway, looking for PSU replacement recommendations.

Did something stupid after cleaning dust out of my PC. Forgot to turn the PSU switch to "Off". Proceeded to plug it in while the switch was on. Saw and heard a spark from the PSU power cable. The PSU power cable is connected to a strip into an outlet. I quickly unplugged everything, switched PSU off. Then slowly proceeded to plug everything back in after a few minutes. After everything was plugged in I switched the PSU switch to "On" and heard arcing noises. I then tried to power on my PC but nothing powered on. I suspect the PSU is dead at this point. Then immediately turned it off and took apart the PC to examine each component for any burn marks and smells. GPU and RAM seem fine, not picking any unusual burn smells. The MOBO doesn't have any suspicious burn smells as well. I disconnected the PSU and plugged it in (SOLO) into an outlet and powered it on and heard more arcing noises and sometimes small pops coming from the PSU outlet near the power switch. What are the chances this stupid mistake fried the system or damaged other components? I'm pretty certain the PSU is the main problem here. Most likely the PSU failed and died. I have been meaning to upgrade it for over a year now just did not have the time to do it, it served me well as well as this PSU is nearly 8 years old. I am more concerned about the other Components than the PSU here, I would appreciate if you guys could share any recommendations or similar experiences or things to look out for as well as if you could give some recommendations for a new PSU in the $80-$120 range. I primarily use this PC as a "At-Home" trading desk for Equities and Futures markets as well as Video Editing. At the moment I don't have any backup PSUs to test all my components out, so I'm hoping for the best.
