Which one would you prefer?
Currently because of availability I have a very limited choice of products and these are 2 that, thankfully, I can purchase and can have shipped to my country.
Which would you recommend?
Thanks

Those are absolutely the only power supplies you can get? I'd probably go with the Corsair simply because it's cheaper, if quality was the same.
If i am reading this correctly, the Corsair TX550M costs about $65 and the Seasonic is at $90. So here are the pros and cons (in my opinion)
Seasonic G 550:
+ 80+ Gold
+ Seasonic build quality
- according to reviews, some of the cables (mainly the 4/8 pin cpu connector) are not very long, so you can get into trouble with bigger cases.
- more expensive
Corsair TX550M:
+ Cable length (i haven't actually looked that up, but all of their psus i have examined until now were generous in that regard)
+ cheaper
o build by Channel Well (they are not bad, just not as good as Seasonic)
- 80+ Bronze
I personally would go with the Seasonic, if you don't have a big case. But i am someone who is willing to pay $100 or more for a decent psu, and the price for the Seasonic is reasonable for what it offers.
P.S.
Just a little warning: The TX-M series is prone to coil whine. At least that was the case about 2 years ago when it was introduced. Might have changed since then...
Why do something simple, when there is a complicated way?

Fractal Define C | LG 32UK550 | Das Model S Professional Silent | CM Storm Xornet
As far as i know TX550M is more expensive than G550.
I would go with G550 over TX550M.

Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450
+1 for the Seasonic G unit.

I would go with the seasonic as well they are the standard for power supplies.
