So I was sitting there playing far cry 4 and on Skype to my buddy. Then my PC just shut off and two big bangs and what I can see as a spark came from my Psu. I instantly thought oh well that's gone but it wasn't a big deal cause I was replacing my Psu anyway. But now I'm wondering could it have fried other components. Like is my hard drive and all data safe

I just did thanks. Do u have any suggestions on a psu. I was thinking of the corsair hx1000i. And can I may take out the psu or will i shock things inside. Because when I plug a cable in or out of the psu there is a crackling sounds. Its really weird and extremely annoying
