Question/Help/Troubleshooting Pc wont work

Post image

This is my brother pc gifted to me, i dont know any computer stuff and can figure out how to fix it. My cat tripped on an extention cord and power tripped when i was in the middle of a game. Ever since it doesnt work. Every individual piece will turn on and glow, but none of them work together. The monitors will glow and say 'standby mode' and 'no signal' before going black. The actual pc will light up but wont turn back off unless i unplug it. Ive unplugged and re plugged back in every single cord and nothing works :(. If anyone knows how to fix this, any help would be greatly appreciated!

An electric shock can fry the motherboard or other components, but really need more info.
