Hi this is my setup https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nZNg9W
This was a pc i bought prebuilt on Amazon years ago the only part i added was the XFX RX 470 and Ive only played light games like hearthstone lately and I have not done heavy gaming on this pc in a while because whenever the pc was under heavy gaming the screen would occasionally loss the hdmi connection but a few seconds later it would come back and that was annoying so i just used it for normal usage. Today i felt like playing some overwatch in 4k resolution and my pc was running fine for a while at over 100 fps low settings and then suddenly again the screen hdmi connection was lost but it came back like 10 seconds later so i thought nothing of it and kept on with my competitive match. In the next match as i was playing i heard a Loud Pop and the computer shut off and it smelled. Few minutes later i opened up the pc and the smell seemed to be coming from the PSU. Please help im not sure if its the psu or what i tried looking if something eles looks messed up but i dont know what im looking for everything on rhe motherboard still seems the same to me. If you think it was the PSU can you please suggest a good PSU i can replace it with? Im left with no pc and nothing to do my pc was everything to me lol. Id also like to upgrade everything in my pc but first id like to get my computer working again so a psu comes first if you think thats the problem. Is any psu compatible with my setup? Id like to get a good psu that will be good for future upgrades. Thank you for your help
Oh im not sure if thats my cpu i cant quite remember but it was ethier that or fx 4150 or fx 4350 or something like that. Also a small blue led light on the case that always was on still turns on when i connect the power cable to the pc but when i click the power button to turn it on nothing happens.

Thanks guys i appreciate the help i knew i should have replaced that cheap psu a long time ago. Time to replace it and prey for the rest of my pc. Ive never built a pc before so rebuilding it with new parts will be new and tough for me hell even installing the new psu going to be new for me lol. Any suggestions on a good psu? Thank
