More than enough. Its mroe about the specific power supply model. The CX600 is decent and will power your system just fine.

Question though. Are you looking to OC?

600w will still be more than plenty.

A **good** 400W PSU would be enough.

Quality is usually more important than quantity.

Then you would need a little more power, and a better motherboard, the 970 can not Crossfire reliably.
You need a 990x/990FX board for multi GPUs.
Also, xfire on mid range GPUs are a bad idea at the moment. Lets hope AMD fixes their drivers issues at some stage.

Then REALLY get a 990FX boards as that is kinda a must for any sort of OCing.
