The 520W or the 620W edition?

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

The Seasonic S12II is a series of PSUs, not one PSU. We'd need to wattage to tell. They range from 380w to 620w.

My PC just died. Don't know what is wrong. My guess is it's PCU or Case, maybe motherboard.

The case doesn't "break".

Exactly why I avoid AMD products. They're known to kill other components of your computer by being a power hog.

No they aren't. How does a video card break other components?

A video card can kill the mobo if it caught on fire or fire flare hit the mobo PCB.

Video cards are the biggest power hogs (specially in an AMD system).

Everyone knows that a weak PSU can destroy other components in a computer.

So if your AMD card is hogging all the juice, other components may choose to self destruct.

And that's the fault of a cheap psu, not the video card. Never skimp on psu's.

This is exactly why you don't buy shit PSUs.

Unfortunately a lot of AMD users do skimp out on a PSU and not go by what the manufacturer suggests.  I've never heard of anyone with a robust power supply having problems with power hogs like 290x.  Yet so many give you the glassy eye look wondering why their PC is unstable with their gpu with a tdp of 300 watts connected to a 400 watt PSU.

And you act like this is AMD's fault... HOW? Stop being a fucking Nvidia fanboy, we are all sick of it. No, you know what, I've got a better idea. Congrats on being the first one on my ignore list.

He has a 620W PSU. It's not the GPU using too much power. I run 290x crossfire on a 750W PSU without issue. I bought a wall power measuring thing, and the entire system has never hit 700W from the wall.

Don't buy an Asus R9 290x, the cooler is garbage on it. Some of the heat pipes don't make contact with the core. The reason is they use the exact same cooler they used on the GTX 780 Ti, which has a bigger die which does make direct contact with all the heatpipes.

No no no. You don't buy shit PSUs for any kind of setup. Be it amd or Nvidia.
