Hi all,

First time builder/noob and I think I may have made a big mistake. I had the PSU unit plugged in (but I thought powered off) while building. At some point while moving it I must've hit the switch or something, Anyway, didn't realize until I connected the cpu and motherboard to the PSU and saw the power button on the motherboard light up. I almost don't want to know the answer, but did I just fry my motherboard/cpu/graphics card/ram.. and everything else plugged into the board? I haven't installed the system yet and booted up, but I just want to be prepared if I need to start over : ( Thanks for the help!
