My PSU just blew
Saw a quick flash of flames, heard a pop noise and then the machine smelt like TCP anti-septic.
Everything looks OK on the mobo and GPU, but what are the chances of something else being fried as well as the PSU?
Specs:
i5 4690
GTX 780 Ti
Gigabyte B85M-DS3H-A
Antec VPF650 650W PSU
It's all still under warranty other than the GPU so alls good, I just want to know if I should be preparing to fork out for another GPU.

High probability of damage, especially if flames were involved. That sounds like the fuse didn't fail before a component failed. Even if the damage doesn't outright kill a component, future stability may be impacted.
Don't buy bargain bin PSU's next time

Would it be worth risking plugging it back in and seeing if anything happens? I'd take the GPU out obviously because I don't want to risk that dying without warranty

It caught on fucking fire and you want to plug it back in?
Are you purposely attempting to be retarded?

It wasn't a full on house fire fuckhead. I said it was just a quick flash, for all I know it might not even have been flames, could've just sparked. If I would've blinked I wouldn't have seen it.

Don't know about you but when I see an orange flash I think of flames, but I could've been wrong.
Either way provide help or fuck off.

Purchase new power supply, see if components work, fix if doesn't
