Found out my case was faulty and the watercooling leaked down into the PSU and all over the CPU/Mobo. The storm and recent surges were just coincidental, as there was liquid all over the inside of the case. The loud pop was likely the tubes hooked to the radiator.
I wouldn't recommend Deepcool or Gamer Storm's cases to anyone, despite how pretty they might be. @Skullmeat was also skeptical of them. It's possible the CPU/Mobo are salvageable, but I wouldn't trust them in the future. I ordered a Noctis 450 case, IX Formula mobo, and 7700k. I should get the parts today.
