Will 600 W be enough for FX 8350 + 2 x XFX 7850?

A few months ago I built my first PC, going AMD to save money. I got the 8350 and the XFX Radeon 7850 1GB. For my PSU, I went with a Corsair GS600. I was wondering if I were to add another XFX Radeon 7850 1GB if my PSU would be able to power them both under load. If it helps, I also have a WD Blue 1 TB, ASUS M5A97 R.20 Mobo, and Kingston HyperX Red 8 GB (2x4GB). Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Michael

My friend look at the 600w recommendation below the 500w one.

That is a 600w recommend for AMD Crossfire (Two GPU's).

However CookyBiscuit is right, Crossfire has issues and you would be much better served saving the $130 it would cost for another HD 7850's and buying a better GPU.

If you feel that option is too expensive then do your research on Crossfire issues and make up your own mind.

Yes it would do it easily, but don't. Crossfire as of right now has alot of issues, though it may be a little more expensive to do so, you are much better off simply selling the card and buying something better. This is made worse by you having 1GB cards, it would be like having a 1GB 7970, you'll run out of VRAM before you need more processing power.

How much could I sell it for? And where? I originally bought it a TigerDirect retail store.
