psu corsair 2 question

Solution
For a system using two GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode NVIDIA specifies a minimum of a 600 Watt or greater system power supply that has a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 36 Amps or greater and that has at least two 6-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) 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...

For that SLI setup I would recommend atleast a 650 watt quality PSU.
CX 600 might not suffice if you overclock in future.
You can have a look at the following options for PSUs:
1)Corsair HX 650 (80+ silver)
2) Seasonic X series 650 (80+ Gold) (fully modular)
3) Cooler Master Vanguard 700 watt (80+ Gold) (fully modular)

Yes, a semi modular one would work.

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 CX Series Modular CX600M (SKU# 75-002018 / CP-9020060) 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 more than sufficient to power your system configuration with two GeForce GTX 660 (non-Ti) graphics cards in 2-way SLI mode.
