I was playing far cry 4 and had just installed new parts but then my pc just stopped thought it was overheated so let is stand for a moment still didn't boot note there was a weird smell but can't figure it out

You may not see anything strange; the PSU is in a metal box, and that's not easy to visually inspect unless you want to tear it apart. And it could be anything from a resistor to a covered area on the PCB. The RAM may also be suspect, so I suggest borrowing a working PSU to see if that fixes the issue; if it doesn't, try each stick of RAM one at a time, in every slot...
