Computer Bang

[Tholmar]

So this morning I was browsing the internet and my computer literally went bang and sparks came out, now the reason I'm putting this under power supply is because the PSU no longer works so what I'm asking is what happened if anyone knows and what PSU you would recommend in the future for when I get one also I'm British so my currency is £ and my computer specs are here:

 

• CPU
  860K
• Motherboard
  F2A58M-HD2 (FM+)
• RAM
  8GB
• GPU
  NVIDIA GTX 960 PNY EDITION
• Case
  GALAXY 3 CASE
• Storage

• PSU
  500W (don't remember the model )
• Display(s)
  Philips 227E4LH
• Cooling

well there may not be a reason to get a PSU if none of your other components work I would test your system before spending money on a PSU 

 

After you test your components then get a good 500w 80 Bronze or better PSU

@Tholmar what's your budget?

[Sauron]

Test the rest of your build to make sure it works before buying a new psu (get someone to lend one to you, or go straight to the store if you can carry your pc there). Make sure you don't buy anything that is not at least 80+ bronze rated.

It could've burned other components by means of a short circuit, check if you see any damage, especially on the motherboard.

 

If you've seen sparks flying out, it's bad...

 

(I switched that red button at the back of a PSU once, while the computer was running, that sparked too)

I have a budget as large as need be to fix it, and I have tested all the parts and they all ran fine and functioned correctly but the PSU's were small wattage so I wanted a new one.

Evga gs 550w would be a good psu replacement

I was think of going with this

Seeing as it gives me more room for dem upgrades.
