I am just wondering if my PSU is enough for my build, I plan to overclock my CPU to either 4ghz or 4.5ghz. I also plan on heavy gaming.

600w may be just a tad too low. Even if it worked you wouldnt have any headroom to overclock. I would go atleast 700w+ with that build

I got 650W for a less power consuming build and its barely enough.

The PSU has enough power, but the quality of the unit is not great; You should get a better PSU for overclocking and heavy gaming: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750s...

That PSU seems to be modular, which means I would most likely have to buy extras, the price for it is good though.

You don't have to buy extras, all cables that you'd have non modular are included, but just unattached. You only use then if you need then, makes your build a lot cleaner.
