Will a 600W one be enough as I am on a strict budget?

The evga only saves $5,if you can't spend that little extra.What were you looking at yourself?

Just seen the EVGA and thank you, it's cheaper and better quality. Should probably mention I'm not American, I'm Welsh, but on amazon it is cheaper.
 

I did have a good look at your specs btw and this is not a good combination,either get the 4690K with a Z97 or if needed a Z87 motherboard (needs the,probably,latest bios) or get that motherboard with a 4690 or to save some money the 4460.

And if you're welsh go for this psu,

according to the partpicker about as expensive as the evga and 550watts are more than enough.
