Thermaltake isn't a really good PSU manufacturer and their PSUs shouldn't be used for gaming builds.
A Seasonic M12II Bronze,Antec HCG 620M,XFX Core 650W or Rosewill Capstone 650M would be far better choices than the Thermaltake 600W.

If that thermaltake is

-Toughpower series (greater than 600 Watts)
then definitely you are ok!

If it is
-Litepower series
-Purepower RX
-Toughpower <less than 600 watts

then it PROBABLY can, these are average units, not meant for overclocking at all.

Any other thermal take is considered a tier 5 PSU on this list.

Tier five - Replace immediately. These units are NOT recommended for any system, no matter the purpose. Reference to higher tiered models for a better and potentially money-saving unit
