I stupidly inserted the pci-e into my motherboard p8 (atx12v). There was a spark and some smoke and now neither my psu or motherboard will turn on. Is it the motherboard? Is it the psu? What is the best thing to do?

There is a chance that your CPU doesn't get fried by the excessive voltage from the 8pin connector, but the chances are small.
