Would a CX600M Power supply be good for this build?

Would a CX600M Power supply be good for this build?
CPU - I7 4770 3.4Ghz
Mobo - ASUS Z97-A
RAM - 16GB DDR3 1333Mhz
Case - Bitfenix Comrade
PSU - Corsair CX600M
 
I reckon it's sufficient but a lot of gamers are squiffy about the CX range. Also, I ran it all through the EVGA power meter test and it doesn't even show a Z97 as an option. It may just be out of date.

Probably best to wait for some more informed opinions. I build mainly office machines.
 
I'm inclined to believe the CX600M will hold up just fine. I don't see a GPU referenced, so you would actually end up with more power than needed for that build if no graphics card will be included.

CX600M does catch a bad rap on these forums sometimes, so take that as you will, but in my opinion it's way over done. My rig has an R9 290 powered by the same PSU and there are no issues (and it has a 3 year warranty).
