Ive been thinking about to get a partner to my GTX 760 (becouse of small budget) and was wandering will 600W be just enough to hold on. Everything that needs power inside my case is here:
Cooler Master RS600
AMD-FX6350+wraith cooler
2x4gb ddr3 ram
Gigabyte GTX 760 oc windforce
2x80mm fans + 120mm fan(no leds in any of these)
Im not going to do any overclocking

I have been doing some calculating on my own and have found out that 600W psu could be enough for sli in some systems that require less power than "optimal gaming pc" for example 700-600 euros and mine is under that. Im aware of it that this sli combination would take about 350W according to guru3d preview and they had more power taking pc than mine is.
Would you help me

A 125W CPU + 2x 170W GPUs + ~100W for the balance of your components.....

That would put you at a max (theoretical) draw of around 565W, with day to day use being a good bit lower.

If you had a quality PSU, you'd be fine (not quite ideal, but fine). If memory serves, the RS600 is a from the CM "Thunder" lineup..... very much a budget orientated PSU.

I wouldn't recommend it.

What's your actual budget? Something like a GTX 1050 TI would be a smarter buy.... probably not a whole lot more money for a new GPU, and would actually run on your existing PSU.
