[SOLVED] Is Seasonic S12III 500w a good power supply?

[manu411]

Hello! Recently my 6yr + power supply started to die (it makes some weird sounds that are extremely annoying) So I thought I'd replace it with a new one. And I saw Seasonic S12III 500w (I heard that Seasonic is very good brand of power supplies) which is very cheap in my country. And I thought it was a very good deal.

Questions:

Will it last a long time? (3yr+)

Will it run easily all my components?
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 3.2Ghz
GPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB OC GDDR5
RAM:2x8GB DRR4 2666MHZ
MOBO:GIGABYTE B450M-DS3H
STORAGE:
-1 SSD 256GB
-1 HDD 2TB 7200rpm


And If there is another power supply that is better in this price range of $50- $60

Seasonic S12II 520w is good.
Seasonic S12III 500w - not so much.

I can’t find the S12II 520w anywhere. On all websites it’s out of stock. Maybe an alternative?

S12II is not good because it's an old groupregulated unit with lack of protections.
Voor max $60 https://pcpartpicker.com/product/Kh...-fully-modular-atx-power-supply-cp-9020225-na is your best pick, by far.

Might be, but we don't know what's available to you.

No it isn't, Seasonic isn't even the OEM. It's one of their few turds.
