I am giving the newegg link, even though I can't buy from newegg. I live in Greece, so I'll have to deal with what I get.
I was going to go for this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] air%20550W

but I saw that the +5V rail is 20A, which is less than my current chieftec humble 400W PSU (26A).
So, the chieftec looks better, but is it? I know Corsair is an excellent brand. Also, why is it that the Chieftec one has 4 12V rails?

Doesn't look like the Chieftec psu made the recommended psu list:

My personal preference is Corsair. I have had extremely good luck with Corsair. The psu's are rock solid and very stable.

ummm... 5v rails are not really required these days the one you want to look at is the 12v rails.

The Corsair you listed is a much better PSU than that cheiftec.
