Is a 600 Watt PSU good enough for this build?

Also, I heard this GPU runs hot, any solutions? Thanks, I'm new to the community and I hope I posted this in the correct form.

600w is plenty of power. And as ct said, get a couple of extra case fans.

Are you sure? The GPU alone says minimum 450W or greater PSU.

Thanks a lot for all the help, I'm not familiar with wattage usage and all that stuff. I'll be going with a 600w thanks to your help, much appreciated!

One more question, could I go as low as 500w and still be safe if I add a SSD down the road?

I was looking at this one, http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4365851&CatId=1079

If that isn't a good 500w, do you have any suggestions?

Thanks again, I guess going cheap isn't the best route with a power supply.

LMAO, I think I'll spend the extra money and go with Corsair. You've been extremely helpful, thanks for the suggestions and your time!
