600 watts enough?

Is 600 watts enough for my build? Heres the link to my build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/18aTE

Yes 600w is more than enough for this build.

What if I wanted to add a second 7850 later?

More than enough. Its mroe about the specific power supply model. The CX600 is decent and will power your system just fine.

Question though. Are you looking to OC?

thumbs up for the PSU model&manufacturer as well

Ahh, I might overclock a TINY bit if performance begins to drop

600w will still be more than plenty.

It's more than enough, I would recommend this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207013&Tpk=xfx%20550w&IsVirtualParent=1 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026&Tpk=cx430&IsVirtualParent=1
Your card and system will pull around 250w at load with a 3960x. http://www.legitreviews.com/article/1863/12/

A **good** 400W PSU would be enough.

Quality is usually more important than quantity.

Then you would need a little more power, and a better motherboard, the 970 can not Crossfire reliably.
You need a 990x/990FX board for multi GPUs.
Also, xfire on mid range GPUs are a bad idea at the moment. Lets hope AMD fixes their drivers issues at some stage.

Then REALLY get a 990FX boards as that is kinda a must for any sort of OCing.

What about a 500 watt? CX500 by corsair?

Then multiple graphics cards are out the question unfortunately...
