So I just recently finished building my first gaming rig and here are my components:

CPU - I5-3570K
MOBO - Asrock Z77 Extreme6
Gfx card - Sapphire hd7950 vapor-x oc with boost edition
Ram - G.Skill Ripjaws X 8gb
PSU - Corsair GS 600w 2013 edition

And one HDD that I had lying around so I was wondering if I were to get a cooler for my CPU and an SSD would my PSU be enough for it? Also what if I wanted to add another card or should I upgrade my PSU?

You should be fine with a 600W PSU. If you do end up getting another card AMD recommends at least a 750W PSU.

you could fill your case with a dozen HDD and fans and still have plenty of power for a single 7950

adding a second card is a different story, get a 750w unit

For a system using two SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 OC with Boost VAPOR-X graphics cards in 2-way CrossFireX mode Sapphire specifies a minimum of an 850 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 50 Amps or greater and have at least four 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Thanks for the info really helpful.
Well I don't plan on adding a second card yet as I don't see the need to but it helps for future reference, though I am planning on getting an SSD and a cpu cooler sometime this month. Thanks :)
