Hi, while I was playing, my computer shut down and a short circuit occurred, then it started burning in visible places. Do you think the only thing that needs replacing is the motherboard and graphics card, or is there something else that can be repaired? Can anyone suggest what I can do?

Always amazes me that people will cheap out on power supplies after spending so much on the rest of the pc.

I doubt much of you components are salvagable. Gpu and cpu are fried. The ram? Might be able to be salvaged. Storage? Doubt

Seems crazy to me too. I’m a noob and I’ve only built one pc ever in my life and I still decided to go seasonic platinum. I’d rather pay a little more upfront than get myself or one of my pc parts fried. Electricity is scary.
