What PSU?

Corsair CP-9020054-UK RM Series RM650 80 Plus Gold 650W ATX/EPS Fully Modular Power Supply Unit
It's got good reviews, and I hooked my old psu to the pc it's fine, not sure why this went off..surely unsafe to try it again? Should i claim a refund from amazon..but what do i say? the truth or..?

DOEs it matter if i used my own power plug from my old psu..because apparently the one for the psu wasnt in the box when i bought it..can that be the cause of the loud bang?

No. The loud bang was a fault inside the power supply assuming that you plugged in everything correctly.

Talk to the retailer and get a refund/replacement.

I see no wrong way of connecting the wrong cables into the PSu, they all have their numbered pins for each end.. amazon were supposed to pick it up today but didnt arrive -.-
