So I have this Rig i just built and Im planning to add a Corsair H100i CPU cooler but will my PSU support it?

CPU - AMD vishera FX-6300 3.5Ghz
GPU - Sapphire R9 270X Vapor-X 2GB 384bit OC edition
MoBo - GA-78LMT-S2 (rev. 1.1) <-- MoBo sucks (I lack the Budget)
RAM - G.Skill RipJawsX 8GBx1 1600Mhz Cl9
HDD - WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Case - Cougar Volant MidTower Casing
PSU - Cougar SL 600W
ODD - I don't remember XD a Lite-On something

I can disconnect my ODD since its purpose was only for OS installation

If it can't support it please tell me how many Watts do I need. (I also add another 8gb stick in the future so pls include it in the calculation XD ) .
 
Solution
The cpu cooler is not the problem - the power supply is not a quality unit and I personally would not trust it. When you pay good money for components, don't cut corners on the psu.

The only reason why i got not so good mobo and psu because i lack budget. and im planning to upgrade this in the future. but my question is if i add a H100i will my PSU be able to support it? (no power deficiencies etc)
 
Again, a quality psu would have no problem with your hardware - the H100 does not draw very much power compared to a gpu. The problem is I cannot say something good about a piece of equipment I do not trust.

I will look to see properly done reviews of your psu.
