Will be building my first whole computer soon and im scared my corsair CX 2017 450w will blow up or something and destroy all my money. So how often does this happen and are there any precautions i should take??

Not often at all when you have a good PSU.  Something really awful has to happen for protections to not act and any decent PSU has protections to mitigate that.

You already did, you bought a PSU that isn't a grenade, congrats.  You'll be fine.
