yea a good psu should have the safty features that would make it so it only blew that out. hopefuly the rest is fine, might have blown the mobo, depends on what rail blew.

was about to say I had this occur from a very old psu that got too much dust and started a fire but luckily it was a good psu and did not allow the damage to spread to the computer. The real reason for a good psu is that when it does fail b/c they all will at some point it will not take your computer with it.
Hopefully some stuff will still work, maybe it just blew the motherboard out.

well if its 5 years old, the CPU isnt worth saving for personal use, same if the ram is ddr2, hopefully you can save the GPU, Disk drive and HDD. Case I assume is unless your looking to get a new one.

Yeah hopefully it didn't fly through your mobo and fry the rest of it too. Gl bro.
