Dont be cheap with the PSU, id have done with it and get a really high end one, its the most vital part of the PC because if it malfunctions it has the potential to damage other components

Actually yeah, i guess 600W is for 100% load, but there comes another question. Is the cpu good enough or will it bottleneck the gpu?
Also i believe it's better to buy a high wattage psu so that you dont have to buy a new one every time you want to make an upgrade.

Personally, i'm going for 1000W 80+Gold psu on my build even though i'll only get 1 GTX770, simply because in the future i'll SLI it and why not, use it for a another, future build.
