AMD one is better because of the 660, also if you possible can, get the 760. I HIGHLY recommend raising the budget a bit tad higher for the 760... The performance differences from 660 to 760 is a HUGE differences for a small price between...

Would a 600w psu be enought to handle a 760 and fx 6300?

BTW I was looking at the MSI 760 twin frozr and it looks like an amazing card.

500w is more than enough, your peak wont even touch 500w, it probably max out 350w or so...
