Yes, if it's still in good shape and hasn't been abused too much, that Corsair should be very good and it can provide enough current (24/30) on the 3.3V + 5V rails (with a max combined wattage of 170W).
I think the TX650 was made by Seasonic, so quality would've been top notch when it was first released (probably 10 - 15 years ago?).

Personally I haven't had any contact with "Ace" brand and I believe it's not among the premium brands.
Overall I suggest to check the condition of electrolytic caps inside before you'll hook it up to your motherboard.

i checked inside recently and all capacitors looks good atleast with my eyes, question is: 28 enough on the v5 rail?

28 amps on the 5V rail of a good quality brand (like Corsair, Seasonic, etc): yes, should be enough.
28 amps on the 5V rail of an.... "Ace" PSU: there's no guarantee that those 28 Amps are actually real, so it might or might not work short term, but I would definitely avoid using it for an extended period of time.
