So as name suggests, I have 3 year old Seasonic S12II 520W in my PC (8 year old) which I put in when I bought RX480. I'm planing do upgrade it this year with new platform and there is a good deal on Pure Power 11 600W unit. Is it worth the change or not? Price for Pure Power 11 would be about 85€.

The s12II is not exactly a great unit 

The pure power would be worth it , consider the txm and the rmx as well from Corsair.

TXM is about 10-15€ more expensive so this would be doable but RMX is 30-40€ more than Pure Power. We are talking discounted price of Pure Power for which it currently goes in Germany, if it is full price it is a different story.
