PSU sparked

Hard to say, since the PSU powers basically everything in the PC.
If the DELL PSU has decent over-current or over-voltage safeties in place, then your other components **should** be okay.
PSU sparking is usually not a good sign.
You could borrow another PSU, and see if your computer starts up at all.
If not then, something critical, in addition to your PSU got damaged.
Big mistake to have a PSU run with the internal components exposed and unprotected.
That's like saying having Ferrari running with the engine cover removed, and throwing a loose wrench in there to see what happens...
