So lets just not jump the gun here heheh there have been many situation where people said that the PSU was dead. Im glad I had one of those handy $12 buck PSU tester laying around I unpluged everything connected to the PSU and PSU worked It was a dead mobo so new mobo came plugged it in System fired up.

I probably did jump the gun, but considering there was a power surge, and afterwards the PC didn't work, it certainly sounds like a power issue.
Try running a bare system, and see if it boots.
