the prices in algeria are like this:
cpu :i5 4440 276$
gpu :msi gtx660 tf 260$
motherboard :msi b85m-e45 125$
psu: cosrair cx600 110$
ram:adata 8gb 100$
hdd: western digital 1 tb 101$
samsung22" monitor 210$
you see the prices are not cheap in algeria i think my build take all the budget

Ouch. I'll stop complaining about the prices here in Canada (compared to our southern neighbors).
Considering those prices, I'd say you made the most out of your budget, that's a solid machine.

CX600 not Haswell Certified.

Power supply isn't Haswell compatible.

When an Intel Core (i3, i5, i7) processor is idle, it goes into a sleep state that requires less power than when the CPU is active. Since the motherboard voltage regulation modules that provide power to the CPU gets their power from the power supply's +12V rail, these sleep states can dramatically reduce the load on the power supply's +12V rail.

According to Intel's presentation at IDF, the new Haswell processors enter a sleep state called C7 that can drop processor power usage as low as 0.05A. Even if the sleeping CPU is the only load on the +12V rail, most power supplies can handle a load this low. The potential problem comes up when there is still a substantial load on the power supply's non-primary rails (the +3.3V and +5V). If the load on these non-primary rails are above a certain threshold (which varies by PSU), the +12V can go out of spec (voltages greater than +12.6V). If the +12V is out of spec when the motherboard comes out of the sleep state, the PSU's protection may prevent the PSU from running and will cause the power supply to "latch off". This will require the user to cycle the power on their power supply using the power switch on the back of the unit.

While we are still working with Intel on the details of the testing methodology they use to check PSUs for Haswell compatibility, it is already known that a power supply that uses DC to DC for the non-primary rails (the +3.3V and +5V) will not have an issue with the new low power sleep states. This is because a DC to DC buck converter is used to convert +12V to +3.3V and +5V. This means that no matter what load the CPU puts on the power supply, there will always be a load on the +12V because the +12V is required to provide power to +3.3V and +5V.

Corsair utilizes this DC to DC technology in most of their power supplies. Starting with the CX750 and CX750M and moving all of the way through the GS Series, TX and TX-M Series, the HX Series, both the AX Series Gold and AX Series Platinum, and the new AXi Series. So whatever your budget, if you choose Intel's new Haswell processor and wish to utilize the new, low power C7 sleep state, Corsair has a power supply for you.

That is not true.

The power supply simply wasn't validated for the Haswell C6/C7 deep-sleep state.

IT WILL NO DOUBT WORK WITH HASWELL.

Even regarding the C6/C7 state you are refering to, the exact quote from Corsair Is "CX600 TBD Likely compatible — currently validating"

http://www.corsair.com/en-us/blog/2013/may/haswell-compatibility-with-corsair-power-supplies

Those C-states are most likely disabled on the MB by default, anyway.
"We don’t know of any board that ships with the new power states enabled"
-http://www.legitreviews.com/what-enabling-c6c7-low-power-states-do-on-the-core-i7-4770k-haswell-cpu_2217

In the worst case, you will simply have to disable the C7/C6 states, which will result in a few watts more at idle.
