My PCU exploaded- help

[viator97]

So today got my new gtx 760 and swapped it with my amd 7770, now my motherboard is a good one and my CPU is also, yet my PSU, well...embarrassingly it now prevails to be the cheapest thing in my PC. Do you think an alpine (supposedly) 700w power supply would have taken out the other components if the motherboard (amd I think) is supposed to have a safety mechanism considering it smelt smokey and flashed once before breaking... thanks anyway.

That is a very strong possibility. You won't know until you get a good PSU to test with.
