If you don't have a PSU tester yet, they can be had very cheaply, like $15-20 cheaply.

Or... shake your PSU and see if a big ass capacitor that was never soldered into it falls out like a PSU I recently bought (yes, no shit)... pretty good indicator of a problem!!!!
But, yes, the PSU tester is a great idea! I wish I had one when troubleshooting an issue with a system that wouldn't turn on recently.
