Is 600w enough for this build?

As the title suggests. Not planning to SLI or crossfire, and no OC.

Nope you need a 700 watt power supply... coz after about a year of capacitor aging your PSU/SMPS will give up if its a 600W
700w psu will give you room for Overclocking both Processor and GPU... and u can SLI or add in some other hardware in future
 


Was gonna get his one: CORSAIR TX SERIES TX650 - 80 PLUS BRONZE CERTIFIED 650W HIGH PERFORMANCE POWER SUPPLY

But there is also this one for 35 more dollars: CORSAIR TX SERIES TX750 V2 - 80 PLUS BRONZE CERTIFIED 750W HIGH PERFORMANCE POWER SUPPLY
 
First answer was right. I don't know what warlock is thinking but he is way off. As mentioned a good 450-500W PSU will be fine. No need for a 650 or 750w unit. I to suggest the capstone. Good unit at a good price. Even comes as a modular unit for ten bucks more.
