How to check if PSU will kill my parts
Usually the protections inside the PSU would prevent harm from shorts like this. Otherwise you'd hear and see a bang!
You could use the PSU tester or paperclip, hook up a couple fans (zero load does funky things), and test the 12V, 5V, 3.3V and -5V rail with a multimeter. Ensure they are all withing spec (+-5%).
If readings are fine, the PSU is also likely fine. Just remember to use the right cable next time.
