Not booting after computer sparked

[Zyect]

So I made the absent-minded mistake of trying to put a component (a wireless adapter, specifically) into my computer while it was still on (it was in the process of powering off but I went ahead and tried to put it in anyway). 

It touched one of the Crossfire plugs on my AMD R9 280 and I saw a medium-sized blue spark. There was a tiny burn mark on both the plug and wireless adapter from where they touched, and it took a small amount of force to pull the adapter off the slot because they got welded together from the force of the shock.

Now, my computer won't even turn on (pressing the power button on the case does nothing). Can anyone help?

If everything's not dead from that, I will start believing in a higher power.

 

I'd try to borrow a friend's system and swap in every component individually to see what works and what doesn't, if he/she would let me.

Something is most likely dead. Just check each part.

At a guess, absolute minimal damage would be at least a dead motherboard, Dead Wireless adapter and dead GPU...

Expensive lesson.

Try pulling out your gpu and see if it boots.

So what exactly happened? An electrical surge through the whole computer?

Let me tell you about our Lord and Saviour then...

 

I have no idea how, but my mobo was the only thing that wasn't working properly, and even then, my mobo POSTed inside another system (and then proceeded to shut down a few seconds afterwards). The graphics card, HDD, SSD, CPU, fans and attached peripherals all work just fine.  Except for the wireless adapter. That got rekt.
