dante007,

Somewhere around 500-620W is more than sufficient for future upgrades on your build. I would generally prefer Corsair PSUs over Cooler Master's since CM isn't the brand people go to when getting a new PSU. However, their SilentPro series is pretty admirable (I have it in 2 of my builds) for its total silence.

I would generally recommend Corsair's CX series for you since I'm assuming with that specs you are on a budget. They are really cheap and perform pretty well for the price. You may want to check out EVGA's SuperNova NEX too, since they're really cheap for what you get.

Hopefully this helped :)

very thanks since i have asus gtx 660 it requires singke pcie connector of 6 pin.icurrently bought a VIP 600w psu.and then my pc would restart after some time(like 2-10 min) while playing games like ac3 and dmc5 and tomb raider 2013.So i also was wanting to buy a corsair 600w psu.and can you tell me if this corsair psu will be good for gpu.

Check out this this the cosair cx and vs fall into tier 3 the ones i recommended fall into tier 2 or 1. You dont want a cheap power supply to power a nice build like that especially if you plan on over clocking.

There are lots of corsair 600w PSUs out there. It totally depends in your budget. The CX series is rubbish but it will sorta do the job for you since again you're definitely on a budget. Go to the corsair site and do some research.

I guess you are from India if you are using a VIP. For 4500/- (price of a CX600) there are a bunch of other better power supplies available than corsair VS/CX. Cooler master VS is very good like Blackbird suggested. Personally I would spend 500 extra and get a Seasonic S12II 520. A lot of PSU for the money:) . Or a Seasonic ECo 500 for around 3500/-.
