I want good quality for cheap money! Lol
Last resort is a corsair tx550m on sale at frys.com but the shipping is expensive
But i don't know if I'm better off going with the corsair

My specs:
Gtx 550 ti
Amd athlon 640 x4
1 TB hard drive
8 GB of ram
A kingwin warrior 450 watt psu
MSI 970A-g43 motherboard
24+4 pin connection
Windows 7 pro 64-bit

I want to upgrade my GPU to a 670....and my CPU to a phenom ii x4 965 maybe

Yes, it's still a good power supply unit and will handle your planned upgrade just fine.

Corsair hasn't revealed if there is even going to be a replacement model yet. It seems that Corsair is moving to Chicony Power Technology as the OEM for the TX Series models probably because it's cheaper. This is an OEM that Corsair has never used before.
Ultra LSP is a tier 5(not recommended, replace asap) on this list.

Your kingwin is too.

A cheap psu can become very expensive if it does not deliver advertised power or fails and destroys what it is connected to.

You need only a good 400w psu for that GTX550ti. The rest is largely irrelevant.
For a GTX670, you are looking at a 500w unit.
If you are in a budget crunchy, corsair CX units are decent.
