Which has better build quality and will be the most stable??

System
Asus p5b deluxe
4 tb HD in Raid 5
2 320 gb HD in Raid 0
DVDRW
9800GT
And a alot of 120mm fans

I assume the 650w is better but just wanted opinions from the experts...the reason I need a new psu is because my Xclio 500w Good Power just blew up on me and I pray that my 4TB raid 5 array is not hurt :(

Thanks
 
The TX650 is a Seasonic-built model that is higher-quality than the CWT-built VX550. The VX line is Corsair's budget line, whereas the TX and HX lines are higher-end. However, both are still excellent PSUs and either one will power your system fine.
 
I've got the 550VX, never heard of any problems from friends (also confirmed by some google research) and I've never had any issues with it. 550w is plenty on this bad boy...

My only complaint would be that it's non-modular.

Edit: look up the [H] review of the 550VX if you have any doubts about quality.
 
The TX750's are made by CWT, if I recall correctly.

I have a TX650. Best piece of hardware I've purchased. You won't go wrong with either of them.

Yes. The VX550, TX750, TX850, and HX1000 are manufactured by CWT. The CX400, VX450, HX450, HX520, HX620, and TX650 are manufactured by Seasonic.
