I’m receiving my new PSU tomorrow, spent a little more for the 80+ gold rating. Do you think it will be safe/ sensible to plug it in straight away to make sure everything else in the system is still working or should I wait until I can get ahold of a battery backup?

My PC was built back in April and has been working fine up until 2 days ago once I moved it between houses (in box and GPU removed). it was working fine at the new house until suddenly there was a loud pop and the system instantly shut off. I assumed it was a faulty plug as there was no smell or signs of damage so I unplugged it and plugged it into another wall plug. This worked and it was running fine again for 2 days then another loud pop, this time it tripped the breaker. I stupidly unplugged the system and took it to another side of the house (as I assumed it was to do with the circuit being overloaded) this time as soon as I plugged it in a switched on the switch (on the PSU) there was a large spark out the back of the computer and again the power in the house tripped. the power supply is a Corsair TX750M any advice would be much appreciated and I expect this will be a very expensive repair
