Do I need to replace my Psu? It needs time to "charge"

Recently changed my power supply among other things, an now I'm having trouble powering on the pc. I always cut power completely with a switch at night, and after the psu swap my pc doesn't react to a power button press Immediately, after reenabling power.
I have to wait 4 min, and if the timing is right the pc will start after one press, showing no signs of instability after. Rebooting doesn't present any new issues.

I'm guessing this doesn't bode well for the power supply. There is no warranty on the thing, and the model is a Zalhman HP1000. Rest of the system are a 2600k, Asr. Z77 pro3, 8gb vengeance lp 1866, gtx 780ti & 850 evo 250gb, 360gb Seagate hdd.

Is there any danger to my components or can I continue using this until I have the funds for a better power supply? I don't have the money for new build :/


Thoughts?
 
I used to have a Corsair HX850 that I used since launch sandy bridge, it was getting louder and louder so I swapped it for a bargain TX650, this one worked fine, although I finally fixed my broken r9 fury - didn't trust a budget psu to handle that much power (the i7 is running at 4,8ghz). So went with the zahlman, paid 40 euro's for it; It looked like new and the modular cables where still wrapped.

As these are signs of old age, I assume I got screwed over. The motherboard is quite recent, the chip isn't, although it was always kept cool and at low voltage (golden chip).
 
What would be the consequences of such a PSU failure? I did take your advice and went for a seasonic x560 gold, this might be the upper limit this unit can handle (2600k now at 4.4, 2x4gb 1866 ddr3 ram, fury nitro at stock speeds, ssd and hdd)
