Your information on your hard drive is probably good.
Your headphones could be ruined. What is more, your motherboard may be unrepairable.
So many components could have been damaged... cpu fan, one or more memory modules..
to save your data, I would remove the hard drive, and attempt to install another.
It is possible that every component will need to be tested, or that a simple change will bring it back to life. The problem is you don't know which. It is possible that a knowledgeable friend would be as good as a professional technologist, but I would get help from someone if your system is important to you.
 
If the computer stays on and there is just no monitor signal and if your motherboard has onboard video, try removing the graphics card and then resetting the CMOS then plug your monitor cable into the motherboard port. If this works then you know that your video card is at fault.
