Should i go with the tx550m or cx650m for this build:

Ryzen 2600 oc 4ghz

h60 liquid cooler

Rx580 8gb oc

Rgb case (with 4 ish 120mm fans)

2 hdd and 1 ssd (roughly)

2x 8gb ram

 

will i have headroom with the 550 watt?

the tx550m is a little higher qualitywise. but most single gpu/cpu systems can run on 550 watts on overclock. so both are fine to use

TX550M is better than a CX one and is actually by all means a great power supply.

 

It'll work out fine cheers

Both are quality made units, and will work fine in your system.  The TX has a few notable differences over the CX series such as a quieter fan, uses more reliable 105c Japanese capacitors, and longer warranty.  Should you upgrade to the TX model?  Really depends on exchange policy and budget.
