Before you buy these parts, I highly recommend you get the newer i5 4690K paired with an ASRock Z97 Extreme 4 motherboard instead. It will cost you a little more, but it's definitely worth it as they are newer and improved components. :) 

Yes, a 600W PSU will be more than enough for your build. Just make sure it is of high quality, tier 2b or above from this list: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1804779/power-su...

Yes, it should draw 450-500 watts, so 600 should be plenty and allow for future upgrades.

Yes , a quality 600 watt can easily run those specs.

If you post the make and model of the supply that would help us to help you more.

If it's a CX600 you will be fine.

Not everybody can afford the best power supplies he will let us know when he tell us which one he has.

He did not specify if he already has the PSU, or is looking to buy one.
I'm guessing he is looking to buy one as he said he's in the process of buying all of his PC components.

I don't have the PSU just yet, I'm not looking to spend massively if it's not necessary.
