The only real test is to plug everything in and power on.

I take it the lead from the power button on the front of your case is connected to your mobo?

yea the lead is connected. I did the above and now I am getting a short burst (1-2 sec,) on the CPU fan and a green light on the mobo so I guess my PSU is ok. Now i just can't seem to get a BIOS screen up

Nope, dead PSUs commonly power the LED and fan for a few moments.
It's going to be that or the mobo, PSU being the most likely so swap that first. |

Yea, swap the PSU into another PC, or get the PSU from another PC into that one, it's the easiest way to check.
