I bought a 600w power supply for a new computer build. Is it enough for 2x gtx 460? they're about 150w required for each. that's 300 total for the graphics card but will it support the rest of my computer?

Depends on which make and model of PSU you're talking about. A 600w Seasonic PSU will handle your system just fine while a generic 600w PSU will probably turn on then catch on fire.

I recommend the following:
A tier1 PSU with 520+W like Seasonic, Antec, XFX
A tier2 PSU with 600W -> Superflower, EVGA, FSP. Corsair
