with SLI, you will want a bigger PSU...700W-800W minimum
other than that, this is a nice build

PCPartPicker has a wattage indicator in the corner. Its about 514 watts. So the 600W PSU will do fine. With plenty of headroom to :)

However, there are three downfalls with this build:
1.) Microstuttering on some games.
2.) No room for upgrades.
3.) You can only use 3GB Vram out of the 6GB because the HD 7990 is similar to Crossfire.

P.S. I suggest that you wait until AMD releases it's new series of cards. By then, the current prices of AMD cards will most likely to decrease.
