Hello, i'm new here but really worried, last Tuesday I successfully built my PC

CPU: Ryzen 5 7500F
GPU: rx 6800 xt
MOBA: b650 phantom asrock pg lighthing
RAM: 16x2 6000 mhz viper
STORAGE: ADATA XPG8200
PSU: COOLING MASTER 750W BronzeV2 80+.

So here is the story, i plugged in directly to the wall since i'm waiting for my new extension which is my power surge panther, during the night, i was playing league, it was working fine, and then i browse on social media for at least 4 hrs, i was kinda tired during that time, so I decided to shut it off, but upon shutting it down, something spark at the back of my pc and my pc turns off, I immediately check it, I don't see any more burnt or small, I didn't try to turn it on again, I removed the PSU and GPU, I checked on the GPU since it's the most expensive part I bought, there was no mark of burnt, or smell anything, and then I check the PSU next, I trace all the wires and didn't see anything too, I tried to smell it but nothing smells burnt or chemical thing. I tried using paperclip method on my PSU and it didn't work, so I guess my PSU is dead,

The main thing i'm concern with, will it affect my other component, like will it affect the rest of the parts especially the GPU? Is my PC fried?
 
Impossible to say. Does the outlet work if you plug a light into it?

As to the PC, unless you have a great deal of spare parts and experience it is best to take this to a trusted professional if such exists. I would consider that if you did possess that experience and hardware, you wouldn't be asking.

yes, that outlet is usable, i was using it for 5yrs for my laptop (acer nitro 2020) . I also took the PSU to my office, our IT checked it and told me that it is dead.
 
It may be worth the risk to purchase a new power supply and replace to see. Make sure that if it is a modular unit to change the cabling alongside the power supply.
Could be worthwhile to see if a friend of one of the IT guys have a very basic no PCIe power connection for troubleshooting since you have an F skew.
