Is my psu on its way out?

Hey all,

So my pc up and decided it was going to stop turning on.
So I tried an other psu and it turned on, so psu?
It's a full modular psu so I pulled all the cables out and plugged them back in (admittedly in different slots) and now the pc's all back up and running.
None of the cables were specifically loose, so should I just chalk it up to a dodgy connection or should I prepare for it to go down again in the near future?

What's that particular PSU?

And what parts you have in computer?
Instead of biggest marketing number you should get quality PSU.

SuperFlower Leadex GOLD 850W,
I have an AMD 1600X and a R9 290X

It is 4 years old now, getting on a bit
