Wanna ask about a question about my PSU it suddenly blows like burnt smell and I immediately turned off my PC and unplug everything and check the inside of my PSU and theres no burnt capacitors or bulge or smell like the one I smell at the back of the fan of the PSU and a few hours later i turn on my PC again and it works fine the blow of the PSU at the back smells normal now and the temp of my other hardwares is normal and my PSU is not actually a "RATED" its just a cheapo "GENERIC 700watts" one (still saving up for a better one) anyway my question is whats the problem of the PSU?

heres my specs:
amd phenom ii x6 1055t
gtx 750ti stormx dual
8gb ram
2 HDD

If there was a smell of burning electronics coming out of the PC/PSU and you didn't find anything wrong when you looked around, look harder: the damage is not always immediately obvious. There aren't many components that can fail inside a PSU without severely degrading its performance. Especially not cheap PSUs which usually have the bare minimum components required to work.
