Idiotic I know. Open window with blinds covering it. Very light sheen of water covered my GPU. Motherboard seemed dry (it was against the wall). It was turned off. When i realised, unplugged it, gently wiped the visible water away, opened up the case and letting it dry out.

Do you think it'll be alright? And how long should I leave it before trying to turn it on?

I'd give it 48 hours to be safe, maybe go over it with a hair dryer.

As Byza said, give it 48h. But i would only recomend the hair dryer with cold or warm hot air at most, some hair dryers have more than 2000w and could reach hight temperatures and thats a lot of heat directed to some components not supposed to be so hot (you have no problem with things like gpus, but some chips of the mainboard are another thing).
