My specs:

Motherboard: Asus P8B75M LX PLUS
Core i7 Ivy 3770
8GB RAM
1 HDD 500GB
1 HDD 2TB
1 Optical DVD+RW
1 Wifi Card on PCI
Asus ATI Radeon HD 7850

My current PSU is Cooler Master Extreme 525W.

I read somewhere about quality of Cooler Master and its real power.

I intend to use gamepad and headphone with that PC.

Does my current PSU can be used? I intend to buy Cooler Master Thunder 600W, shoud I do that? Thank you.

Depends on which Cooler Master power supplies. The V series are excellent as they're manufactured by Seasonic. The rest of the Cooler Master line has somewhat questionable reliability. Same with Corsair. The AX and HX series are made by Seasonic, but the CX series are low end Channel Well units and the AXi series are made by Flextronics.

Thank you rolli59 and g-unit1111 and i7Baby, how about FSP Aurum 600w. I want to buy a PSU that support Active PFC because at night, the power source is somewhat unstable. Does 600w overkill my system.

There is such a thing as overkill when it comes to PSUs but the more wattage you have will not hurt your system in any way. The FSP units are pretty decent. Better would be something like a Seasonic G series or a XFX Pro series. USB peripherals will hardly use any power from your system, you won't need to worry about that.
