Thanks for your reply. I was leaning toward the Seasonic because it was only $12 more expensive. My build is budget actually. Ryzen 5 1600, ASRock B450M PRO4, and MSI Radion 5500 XT 8 GB Graphics Card. I thought I would go for the Seasonic because price and availability. 

 

I would recommend the Seasonic one considering that you pay more/pay less 12$ but you get Full-Modular unlike the Corsair one, but that doesnt mean Corsair PSU sucks its really good. Both PSU are on the high level! You can check out this also PSU Tier List

 I'm looking at two 550W PSU's for a gaming PC.  Seasonic Focus GX 550 or the Corsair TX 550M. Any thoughts on these PSU's?

Seasonic is better. But that doesn’t mean the Corsair tx550m is crap, what’s your build? If the seasonic is more expensive it might not be worth it unless you have some higher end components

make sure to quote people so that we can see your responses, or use @IC4

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

For 12 dollars I don’t think you can go wrong going for the seasonic. But @jonnyGURU has a compelling point, you could get a pizza for that money LOL (I’m just a very fat thinker okay?)
