So my psu shut down I turned it back on then a pop I opened the case and smelt it smelt like burnt. How do I check if my components are okay? I am getting a new psu soon.

If your PSU had proper protections, your components are likely fine (though nothing's a guarantee). If you have a junk PSU, protections may be poorly configured, absent, or -- which happens on the junkiest -- are simply made up. If you tell us what PSU have, we may at least be able to give your chances.

The ultimate test, of course, will be a new PSU.
