At least 4 gallons of 91% isopropyl alcohol, and 69 cans of compressed air.

PSU is likely a goner, wouldn’t even plug it in. If you disassemble the GPU and wash it with isopropyl, then bake it I’m the Oven for a few minutes on the lowest setting it might come back. Same with the CPU, possibly motherboard. Electronics are surprisingly water resistant as long as you don’t turn them on while wet.

So if youre really patient you can take everything apart and clean it, and reassemble it. You’ll probably need a few gallons of rubbing alcohol 90%+. Concentrations that high aren’t actually good for antiseptic purposes but you’ll find it in the pharmacy of many stores.
The important thins is to do it quickly before corrosion sets in.
The exception to this is the power supply. That’s trashed. Never open a power supply unless you’re certified to know what to do. Those capacitors have enough capacitance to discharge and kill you.

Experiment time!
Completely disassemble. (Toss the psu)
Gently bathe/soak components in distilled water for about 10 minutes.
Rinse well with isopropyl alcohol.
Dry completely (hair dyer or food dehydrator)
Reassemble.
50/50 chance it’s works

Now that you cleaned it out with a garden hose. You need to completely disassemble it and clean each part with at least 97% isopropyl alcohol and a toothbrush. This will clean all corrosion off the components and any organic residue that remains. Now, assuming the computer was off when the flooding happened, and the parts are cleaned and left to dry, the computer should work.
P.S. If you have any 2.5″ SSDs, remove their casings and clean the board on the inside. Any HDDs you had in the system are as good as dead and will need the Drive Savers treatment to get ant data off them.
P.S.^2 DO NOT OPEN THE POWER SUPPLY! JUST GET A NEW ONE!

I think you misspelled Acetylene

Hopefully the power went out and your PC was off before this happened, if it all lines up like that, you could most likely save some of the parts after drying it all out

If it was turned off while this happened, all components could be alive.
Check a YouTuber call TechYesCity that wash pc components with water.
