What PSU are you looking at using? For your build 600W is plenty of power, but you want to make sure that the PSU is of decent quality.

The rating really means nothing as to the quality. Some so called 600 watt PSU's can't really put out 600 watts. Post a link to it or list the brand and model number.

Do you know the exact models of those EVGA PSUs? Ie EVGA SuperNova G3

Those are not good PSUs. You should look at getting something different. Here are two things to read for PSUs.

Agreed, B1 and W1 are NOT good PSUs from EVGA.

A PSU is a safety device, that protects your expensive components. This is not something you should cut corners on - the Discussion that @jeremyj_83 linked to is a MUST READ.

Those are called "B1" and "W1", by the way. Efficiency ratings are not model names.

And both of those PSUs are horrible (as already pointed out).
