Thank you very much for the quick reply :)  i didnt think until after and thought that a 600w psu would be too low for the said components.

If that is the EVGA SC series GFX card Id make another selection.... it is the only factory OC'd card from the major vendors that uses a reference PCB and VRM, while everyone else uses a custom PCB with a substantially beefed up VRM.....You'll also notice that the Gigabyte and MSI are 1137 core clock versus the EVGA SC which is at 1111

As for the PSU, given the rating here fore the 500B and nuthin else to go by , Id say no to the 600B ....I don't like to use anything below 9.5 performance rating

Corsair TX V2 series, Seasonic M series, XFX Core Edition.

And if ya MoBo is SLI capable Id upgrade to a 750 or preferably 850 watter to allow for that future upgrade.... better few bucks now then tossing 1st on out and buying bigger later.

Personally, I put no faith in neweggs rating system .... focuses more on gold, silver, bronze than on actual quality of power supplied. Corsair HX below AX ... ? Antec Neo in Tier 2 ? I have 3 in closet I raid for parts .... Bought 3 all failed with 2.5 years ....also applies rating to entire series .... Corsair HX 1000 and 1050 were dogs, HX 850 / 750 superb
