Ehh, the biggest difference is MODULAR(HX) vs. NON MODULAR (TX).

650HX seems to pass the higher efficiency rating also

And two different Seasonic platforms S12II (TX650) vs. M12 (HX650). I'd take HX650.

The HX is modular whereas the TX is not. Also, the HX is a newer power supply and has a higher efficiency.
