Hello! I am buying a gaming PC, and I would like to ask you, if this PSU is enough to run this system?

Case: Cooler Master Elite K(night) 350, Black,

PSU: Corsair 600W, CX V2 series, 12cm fan, 80+,

Motherboard: Asus Z87-K,

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K (3.4GHz, 6MB Cache, LGA1150),

RAM(OS): Kingston 8GB, DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9, Kit Of 2, HyperX Blu,

Extra RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport, 4GB, DDR3, 1600MHz, CL9, Single Stick,

GPU: Asus Radeon HD7950, 3GB, GDDR5, DirectCU II V2,

HDD: Seagate 1TB, 7200rpm, 64MB, Sata III, Barracuda.

Another question, is all my parts compatible and is the motherboard good for this kind of build?

Thank you.

Don't mix RAM. You are just asking for trouble. Get a matched set of 2 x 4GB and you will be set. I also would avoid Kingston with an Intel build. They are the only company still selling DDR3 1600 that requires 1.65v and the Intel memory controller needs 1.5v RAM. Use low profile Corsair Vengeance, GSkill Ripjaws X or Z or Crucial.

That power supply is enough for your system. Personally I don't like the Corsair CX series due to them using cheap Chinese made capacitors in them. I would get something different.

Where are you buying from? I would be glad to check for a better PSU for likely the same price or very close.

I currently can choose between these PSU's what you think might be best choice?
Picture

As for the RAM could you look at the Picture and tell me, which is best, and if mixing RAM is bad, then I better won't buy this extra 4 GB's because my budget dosen't allow another 8 Gigs.

Thank you.

Keeping your price low go with the Corsair CX600M. It's a better, updated version of the CX600 V2. If budget is not an issue get the Seasonic S12 II or M12 II. They are the same internally but the M12 II is modular. They are the best units on the list.

Go with the Corsair Vengeance low profile memory of whatever color you want. The normal Vengeance has very tall heat spreaders on it that will get in the way of an aftermarket CPU cooler if you decide to overclock. The heat spreaders are only for show. They are not needed because DDR3 runs cool. 8GB is plenty for a gaming computer.

If you can add a CPU cooler like the Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo you could overclock the CPU. Haswell runs hot and even without overclocking I might add a cooler. Here in the US the 212 Evo is usually around $30.
