That CPU will consume more power at load, slightly more at idle.

Q9550 TDP = 95W
E5700 TDP = 65W

So at maximum, your CPU will consume 30 more watts at full load (such as rendering, encoding, benchmarking etc). Speed stepping at lower system loading will help your system use barely any more power than your current chip.

Your system should be perfectly stable, that seasonic unit is a nice PSU, very high quality and very reliable.

I don't see why not.
You are going from a max of 65w to 95w for the cpu.
Most power is consumed by the graphics card.
If you are running ok now, that should not change.
Seasonic is an excellent brand and can probably output more than advertised.
