Is my iMac dying?

-

hello everybody!

first time posting on macrumors long time follower.
afternoon imac (late 2012 model, bought in may 2013 fusion drive 3tb, gtx 680mx) started being slow, "freezed" completely, thought chrome forced chrome restart still "freezing" after.
restarted imac entirely, re-opened chrome , "froze" again. decided restart imac again never booted.
looked online solutions, after booting in recovery mode, option in disk utility clic "fix it" or error detected without me pushing verify disk option.
after had 120 gb ssd drive available, installed mac os on (took forever, not sure if it's because of hdd or slow apple servers) , did manage install mountain lion (not sure why installed version) , there managed hdd portion unusable.

@ point went in recovery mode, went terminal manually set fusion drive back. booted mavericks old bootkey made, , able installed yosemite there.
yosemite install did fail 3 times, , on imac desktop, not confident if imac boot tomorrow morning :confused:

@ point 90% sure fusion drive dying//dead, correct?
if so, options here?
use use ssd portion of imac without problems?
cost fusion replaced ssd (lets 256 gb) @ apple store? looked online , can replaced in repair shop 300€ 256 gb ssd.
not comfortable @ doing operation myself after looking @ tutorials on youtube :confused:


lot in advance help//tips!
