Is the PSU strong enough?

I would like to know if the power supply will be able to run everything smoothly. My PSU is a 600w Corsair CX600

AMD FX-6300
CM Hyper 212 Plus
Gigabyte 970A-D3P
Powercolor Radeon HD 7970
8GB Corsair DDR3
120gb Samsung 840 EVO

I am running a 7970 and a FX 8320 with a CX600M and I have not encountered a problem, so I think you will be fine

For a system using a single Radeon HD 7970 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 38 Amps or greater and have at least one 6-pin and one 8-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

The Corsair CX600 (SKU # 75-001668 / CP-9020048) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 46 Amps and with two (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors, is sufficient to power your system configuration with a single Radeon HD 7970 graphics card.
