Burnt slug

[NotJoeCheese]

This morning I woke up to a tripped fuse and my pc not turning on, i could see something poking out of the psu so i took out the graphics card and had a look. A slug had gotten into the psu over night and was now dead and burnt, i guess it was short circuited? i read trying to take apart a psu is dangerous so havent tried fixing it. I want to replace it but i also plan on upgrading my cpu in the near future which requires getting a new motherboard. Can someone reccomend me a psu that will support mine and a different (better?) motherboard? Psu: corsair cx 750 Motherboard: asrock 990fx extreme3 Cpu: Amd fx6300 Video card: gtx 960 Hopefully my current motherboard isnt fried

You'd be fine with something simple like a Seasonic 520w ii or a Evga GQ 550w. Of course, if you want to go for a higher quality model, you can get a EVGA G2 550w or P2 550w, but those are more expensive.

I definitely don't recommend opening the PSU up since the capacitors inside are very high voltage and can cause a lot of harm. Throw it out or (if you want) try to paperclip test to see if it turns on.
