Rained-on 2011 Rig Rebuild

I want to start this thread that I'm kind of a dumbass. Last night I left the window slightly open which my computer is standing next to. It got pretty stormy outside which caused some rain drops to get blown in through the window into my room damaging my computer. :(

Currently I know for sure that PSU, graphics card and mainboard have been killed. Also possibly ram and cpu have gone to silicon heaven due to psu failure and overvoltage, but I won't know for sure until I get some replacement parts to start some testing.

Which leads into the actual build log part of this post. I'll take this "opportunity" to rebuild my current rig and make some changes to my config. The current plan is to get the new mainboard and graphics card that I already ordered and figure out whether cpu and ram are still OK. The parts I ordered are the Asus rampage iv black edition and the evga gtx 780 6GB acx superclocked replacing a rampage iv extreme and a msi gtx 780 ti gaming 3g. Also I cut down slightly on the psu going from the burned out ax1200i to an rm850.

Trying to leave some pictures of the current state of my rig here. I'm posting with my phone so I hope this dropbox URL linking works. ;)
