Down the line I want to get a GTX 780 computer to help me develop my interest in special fx and mo graphics.

I found a company which has this spec on offer but the machine is powered only by a 600 watt psu.

Is this on the low side and what would be a better psu to future proof, here is the full spec.

AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz Eight Core Processor
16GB Memory
2000GB hard drive storage space
Nvidia GTX 780 3GB Graphics card
Asus M5A97 LE USB 3.0 motherboard
DVD-RW
300mbps Wireless N Adapter
Stylish Coolermaster 430 Gaming Case
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Thank for any advice coming back

Just because 600w is written on a unit, doesn't mean it will deliver anywhere near 600watts.
You wouldn't want to run your expensive hardware on a low grade PSU.

PSU is the heart of your rig, don't skimp on it.
Get a good quality PSU 500~600W from Seasonic, Corsair,Antec,XFX, OCZ, etc..
whichever is available.

The PSU, that they use in that system, is an entry level budget Corsair CX600 (SKU# 75-001668 / CP-9020048). It's adequate for the posted configuration but inadequate if you're planning to overclock the CPU and/or GPU.

The next PSU selection in their list is the CX750M. If you want a PSU of a little higher quality the next choice in their list is the RM750.
