I just purchased a GTX 1060 Asus Strik and set it all up. Cable management was find, all the cords were out of the way, everything was plugged in nice and snug. However, first time booting a little spark popped and some smoke came out. Immediately unplugged it and shut it down, checking to see what the damage was. All the cords were place in correctly and I was using static free bracelet and even gloves. Rebooted one more time after things un-smoked (kind of stupid, I know), but this time it had no problems at all and is working fine. Any ideas what could of happened? Will it be ok?

Is the PSU sufficient for the hardware you have built in your system?
