My Rm1000x blowed today and I'm wondering if the other components especially the GPU in the system are still alright.

I powered off my pc by holding down the button which caused my fuse box to turn off the electricity upstairs. As this happened everything turned off accept from my motherboard and GPU lights which eventually turned off after a few seconds. Could this mean that they are ok? I've got a PSU on the way out now but just have to wait/ worried more damage has occurred

You don't need to register your product to claim the warranty. Often you would go through the retailer you bought it from, or Corsair do actually accept warranty claims directly. I RMA'd a Corsair keyboard while I was living in the UK and it was really straightforward. It'll take some time, but for sure you should do that. Even if you'd prefer to purchase a new one rather than wait for the replacement, you should at least RMA your broken unit and sell the replacement or give it to a friend. Part of the premium price...

It's possible, you can't really know until you plug the new unit in and see.

At least you have a very high end PSU there. That doesn't guarantee you safety, but it should do a much, much better job of dying gracefully without destroying other components than cheaper units would. But still, plug it in and see.

That unit should have a 10 year warranty, I hope you processed a warranty claim and haven't paid money again?

I bought it through scan.co.uk and didn't setup warranty with it does that mean I didn't get any and yeah I've bought the upgraded version of it/ I'm paying for the PSU/processor and mb through scan finance (monthly)

From your reply I'm glad that it is a good PSU and hopefully hasnt taken anything down with it.

Thanks for your reply relieved me a bit as I am pretty worried

Part of the premium price you paid for that unit was the premium 10 year warranty... use it! All you need is a proof of purchase (invoice, receipt, credit card statement, etc).
