Replace Raidmax PSU

Should I replace my Raidmax PSU?
I just bought a Platinum Seasonic to replace it, but now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't have bought it. Should I return the Seasonic and keep my Raidmax?
I've had the Raidmax for almsot a year now.
Here it is

Raidmax tend to fail quite often use the SEASONIC.

Raidmax is in tier 5 of http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html - Replace Immediately!

Seasonic platinum is in tier 1.

It should be much much better than the Raidmax.

Great choice on the PSU.
