It went kaput within few months of usage.

 

Nope. 12400 is the cheapest I am getting. Any reason?

What model is it? Zotac stuffs are not that bad generally. It could be other problem that cause it to fail too like a bad PSU.

 

Nothing special, just want to tell you Asus Strix GPUs are usually a bit expensive

I am still sceptical about PSU. I mean, first I thought seasonic s12II was great. Then a guy came here and said it is very old and group thing.

Hmm, there are other factors that can kill a GPU, not just only the GPU itself, I bet Zotac didn't uses low quality components in their GPUs

 

S12II is good, don't bother about the group regulated design, even it's an old design, there's nothing wrong with it, still can work perfectly fine in modern PCs

What I mean is if that PSU wasn't good or very, very old and had some issues, why nobody ever tried to tell me that? Many people here are helping a lot. Most of them are really dedicated in helping others, but I had a pretty much bad experience (misguidance) with this forum. I cannot do anything more as this is the most active forum. I came here from the techquickie channel. 

 

STRX was the one who suggested me that PSU, but he never bothered to tell me about the issues and all that. AND, if that PSU si really great, then I don't understand why nobody told me to go for it in my previous PSU question.

But if that's the case, why nobody suggested or told me like the PSU is fine? Or to go for it?

I do suggest.

There are better options there, but for your PC, S12II is perfectly fine. You don't need excellent tier 1 PSUs like EVGA G2/G3.

But if I get s12G for the same price as S12II, I should go for s12G, right? I mean, isn't s12G tier 2 PSU?

Yeah if they are the same price, definitely go for the better one, S12G

And what about case? Spec-01 is a good choice?

Umm I never own one before so I can't say much...
Is it Spec-01 Red? For this price, yeah it's pretty decent, can't complain anymore

I will be getting my PC tomorrow, so I need a solid answer. Which three are the best?

 

CM Storm Edition GX 550

 

or

 

Deep Cool DQ550ST

 

or

 

Seasonic S12G-550

The S12 G is best of those.

Yes, if you're referring to the old model with bronze efficiency that needs an update by now (and it's still a good unit regardless).

For Ryzen build. 

I will sleep in half an hour and will go to the market tomorrow to get the parts.

The wording made me believe you are thinking of the other GX revision. The GX Storm Edition is an Asia-Pacific model that's based on the DC-DC CWT GPN platform like the Cooler Master GM series budget but has full Japanese caps and lacks modularity.

 

Nonetheless, the S12G is indeed superior
