Hey guys, My name is Ryan. I've been goofing around for awhile and I Decided to finally build a system that meets my needs. It is going to be a basic web browsing system, maybe two games, and it will be heavily used for audio recording music. Here are the specs.

Okay, I don't have ALL of the parts yet. The only thing left to get would be the Processor. But I got the MOB last night and the hard drive and I wanted to start putting it together. Some may say that I got ahead of myself :4- but I wanted to see my case fans & lights going, so I hooked them up to my PSU and there was a flash of light and a loud POP!. I tried to test my PS after the fact. I found out that I should have used a paper clip to test it with the case fans, and now the PS fan won't even turn. Does it sound like I blew my PSU up?
Also, My case came with NO information on how to power up all of my stuff with the power supply connections. Are there any good tutorials over this kind of stuff anwywhere?
Thanks,
Ryan
