I'm thinking of geting a Seasonic SS-650HT but it's $168 shipped from Newegg.

However, the 650W Thermaltake Toughpower 650W is $115 after rebate and has modular cables.

How reliable is Thermaltake Toughpower vs. Seasonic? I know with Seasonic I'm getting arguably the best PSU brand out there but if the Thermaltake is also good I'd save $53 going with that.
 
I suggest you stay with Seasonic since Thermaltake is not really know for his reliability.

53$ is nothing knowing you can get a more robust system and get a nice warranty too.

Awesome reviews from where ? If it is from Newegg, take it with a grain of salt since it's 99% from n00bs. I didn't say to stay away but I have a bad feeling about the Thermaltake since some of them are made from manufacturers who have products in the "PSU to avoid" list. Also, the Seasonic watts rating is more conservative than the Tt so it can handle more in real life.

A PSU expert can chime here and I may be wrong... My advice was to go to a brand who has a solid track record and have the peace of mind even if it cost a bit more.
