Yes, you'll be fine. You are looking at less then 300W for that system. If you don't OC you might even have enough for SLI 970s, but I don't think the 600W unit has enough plugs for that.

Probably; 600 Watt is enough, but FSP isn't a top-quality brand. It's much more recommendable to go for a more reknown brand.

I disagree. I nearly bought a FSP before I did the research on my Rosewill PSU. FSP is well known for making basic but good PSU. And the Aurum series is 80+ gold certified. They are very good units, but lack the MOV that other units have. FSP relies on the PFC circuity to handle incoming spikes. At the time I didn't know that and when I found out they lack a MOV I looked into other units.

Thank you! Yes i know, limited resources in my country though.
Any better suggestion from this list?

FSP (Fortron) makes very good PSUs, even the worst among them are still solid units (except Raider series which is not recommended). Your PSU will be more than enough.

Yeah, I'm not amazingly familiar with power supplies and I tend to base my answers on things I have read very oftenly before; discouraging people to use lesser brands being one of them 😛

The PSU is enough, and besed on this, FSP also has some PSUs in Tier 1 and 2: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html

Now, what`s the full modle name of the PSU? If it`s in the first two tiers, it means it`s good quality, and the wattage is surely enough.

FSP FSP-AU-600S Aurum Gold 600W

I think that would be Tier 2B??

No tier 1 or 2A in my country 🙁

Please tell me if this is good!?

This is a good PSU. Go ahead and use it.
Happy gaming!

I'd look at the list but you already seem to have found your PSU. And you didn't give me a budget. It's a good one, you'll be fine. I would have said something if it was junk.

It's enough for even X2 970's.
