It depends on how the power supply fails. If it fails in such a way that the voltage outputs exceed their limts, it could damage other hardware in the computer. This includes having the voltages be too low as well.

What pbcopter said.

And also, a PSU is the last component in a PC that you should try to save money on. It's probably the one component in your PC that should be really "high end".
