Ok... so first off. I'm a computer building novice for sure and this was my first solo build start to finish. I'll link the parts list as follows.

A quick description of my setup. H100i as top exhaust with stock fans replaced by nf-f12 pwms pushing air out through rad. I have 2 nf-a14 pwms as front intakes controlled through corsair link along with the 2 radiator fans. I have one additional nf-a14 pwm as rear exhaust as well as 1 of the stock h100i fans as a bottom intake. SSD as the boot drive behind panel and my Hardrive & CD drives up in the 2 5.25 bays of the define r4. All hard drve cages removed for airflow. Everything was great for 5 days with idle temps where they should be under minimal load. This morning though.....thats not the case.
When I tried to wake my monitor I was greeted with a "no dvi signal msg" so I tried to reboot and found out that the case power and reset are non-responsive. The case led on power button is getting power though. The evga gtx 780 ti appears to have a liquid residue that's very hard to see and only possibly with good light and the right angle. I don't see any other signs of a leak though I haven't taken the fans off the radiator yet. The residue on the card is about where a leak from the tubing/pump assembly would end up though. I'll list this info a bit more simply...
-Mobo doesn't post. No power led lighting up or codes/light from the debugger
-fans on gpu weren't spinning.
-anything direct powered by psu was working. Namely pump and 4 fans plugged into it. Pump gets a molex from psu.
-the power button on mobo will power system on but not shut it down and the reset on mobo doesn't work
-case power button definitely won't turn anything off or reset but I think I was able to power on with it.
-fans powered by mobo don't work.
Ok so the questions... gpu is probably toast Imo bc that's the only spot atm I can see there was damage. Mobo seems to be toast as well though. I pulled gpu and still won't post. I have not tried pulling dram yet though. I guess I'm really just trying to figure out what's toast before I talk with corsair about a rma and damage claim. From what I've read it seems I should eventually get cash for damages but this will all be such a slow and painful process. Can the mobo be damaged from the gpu getting wet? Ok.... too much rambling. If anyone wants to outline some suggested steps to just figure out what's broken I'd appreciate it.
