Hello I am building a socket 1150 i5 machine and I want to find out if in the future it can buy geforce titan and just plug it in?

So I am thinking of buying an overkill (for todays standards) Be Quiet! Pure Power 600W PSU.
I saw that it needs a 6pin and an 8pin and I really don't know if that are provided in some way from this Be Quiet PSU.

Can I get away with Be Quiet! Pure Power 500W (i7 + titan + ssd) ?

My current machine wont have more than 250W in power requirment. Is buying an overkill PSU a smart move?

Thanks

with power supply it the 12v line for the cpu and gpu. if the cpu is 77w and the gpu is 350w at max load you want a 600w output on the 12v line. if you cut it to close when the caps age or power supply is under max load the power supply can fail or not hold up and your gaming rig will lock up or reboot. the card itself per nvisdia says 250w min 600w power supply. i look at a 750-850w unit to be safe.

Reading some reviews I believe 600 are OK. What about the pins? Are adequate? I don't know how to check this. Titan needs 6pin + 8pin ? Are there in the Be Quiet! Pure Power 600W PSU a 6pin and an 8pin? I don't know advanced stuff about PSUs..that's why I am asking.
