I turned on my computer to play some Dota 2 with my friend. Nothing unusual happened after two games until I hear a loud pop. I take off my headphones and I notice that my computer was engulfed in smokes. I immediately pull the power supply plug off the socket. Then I waited until the smoke in the room (literally the smoke filled my small living room/area after 10 seconds) and now I'm suspecting that it's my power supply. I am aware that the cx series is cheaply made and not surprised by the outcome after using for a year.

Corsair CX600 Psu on smoke

Another one bites the dust. There's always a chance this could happen, no matter how good your PSU is but as you say the CX series isn't particularly good. The exception being the old Seasonic made CX400.
Good thing is, it's not a bad enough unit to have damaged anything else (hopefully).

Honestly, I felt the same way.
But hopefully it didn't take my other parts with it.

I put a photo of the power supply. It reeks of this popcorn odor and apparently is "moist".
