My PC doesn't want to turn on anymore, after several attempts it will and everything is fine once it is on. Should I order a new power supply or suck it up and get a new computer? Any additional troubleshooting advice will be greatly appreciated.

Get a MAC FTW :headbang2
 
A Mac wouldn't make a difference, the internal components are the same.
 
In regards to the OP Question without throwing out the Get a Mac line.

How old is the PC? What are the Specs of said PC? And How much did you pay for the PC?

All this factors in on whether or not you dump money into a PSU or not.

Also, your symptom isn't 100% indicative of a PSU issue. Bad Ram can cause this to happen as well as Faulty wires, and just recently I had an 8800 GTX video card in my PC cause a similar issue.

Let me know what your working with and I'll let you know if it's time to upgrade.
