I'm from a 240v country and accidentally when I was changing my pc case moved the 240v and 110v switch, so when I was trying to turn on my pc the power supply just burned out so the question is that I don't know what is dead, so my motherboard is an ASrock 960gtm and my cpu is an AMD 6300fx the power supply is a Sentey 750w (generic brand), btw my gpu and other things like cpu fan are brand new so I don't think that they're the problem, I bought a new power supply an 850w EVGA Gold and it is still not turning on, then it came to my mind that the cpu or motherboard is dead, what should I do?, like I'm not sure in buying another motherboard or cpu.

Most likely that is exactly what has happened.
Have you tried other RAM, another CPU on that board?
I suspect, however, that your mobo, CPU AND RAM has blown with that discharge.

It stinks, but with something like this, your options are to test parts in another PC or start replacing your parts one-by-one, starting with the most likely dead parts. Essentially, cheap power supplies can be very expensive.

I'm going to replace my mobo, after replacing it if the pc is still not turning on then the cpu is dead too, and the pc can still turn on without ram?, and I don't have other am3+ mobo to try if the cpu is dead, so let's luck decide
