Pcpartpicker puts that at around 350w for the whole system with the parts you listed.

Corsair makes very nice PSUs so that 600w unit should definitely supply what you need.

So if i wanted I could go to possibly a 500W or a 430W? and still be safe? If so that would be nice! But if i wanted to go all out and get two Gpu's and crossfire them what 2 would you recommend that come in at a good price and have great strength

Well, technically yes, but I like to recommend giving your PSU some breathing room to account for heat, and higher power draw while gaming.

You may be able to get away with a 600w unit for Crossfire, but 700+ may be a better choice for the reasons I listed above.
