Well if it's sporadic flickering that's not a good initial indicator.

 

All you can really do now is take each component and test them individually. You'll need another set of hardware to test each component. The fact it isn't POSTing like it was previously would indicate that something has most likely died due to the PSU's explosive death.

So you decided to plug in all your hardware before you had a monitor to test if it would POST?

 

Well it seems like it would have exploded if you waited or not so it's better to find out sooner rather than later.

No I wanted to see if the components worked by using a heat detector on the core and gpu

...not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. The components can heat up but still be D.O.A.

Corsair is actually a very reputable brand though some series are of better quality than others:

Nothing wrong with buying Corsair you just want to make sure it is a good series. You may be able to open a dispute with Corsair to get the PSU replaced. I can't say how claiming damages will go though. You may need to provide sufficient evidence.
