Here's my build:
Gigabyte Windforce GTX 770
Intel i5 4670k (planning to oc)
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming
Phanteks PH-TC14PE
G Skills Ripjaw 2x4GB 1600
Crucial m500 120gb
Seagate barracuda 2TB 7200
Lite-On iHAS124-04
My case is the zalman z11 plus

This is my first time building a PC and I was wondering what kind of PSU I would need to power my system. I was thinking about getting the corsair cx600m as my budget for it would be around that price and it sounds great due to being semi modular.
Is 600w enough power for this system with oc on CPU I'm not sure how much this effects the power needed and also the extra fans for cooling in case etc.

Any and all help would be appreciated thanks guys

I would change the cx600, for a Seasonic, Antec or Xfx psu(esp if you plan to oc). Some corsairs are good, but more higher end ones (can't remember the versions off the top of my head) 600w of a solid psu should be ok, unless you want to sli. Hope it helps.

Um the cx600 will push that flawlessly without any real effort. My system is older and draws far more power due to overclocking and just being old tech yet I have no issues at all. But as mentioned if you can afford a better psu then I must encourage you spend the extra little bit.

The cx600 and cx 600M are two different psu's entirely and the price premium on the cx600m puts it into the price range of something good, so just get something good instead.

If you are down to the last few dollars on the build the cx 600 will do the trick and there really isn't any concern it can't do the job. The load from your setup even when fully overclocked will not touch my system's power drain.
