A 600W is enough for this system yes, just make sure it's a well branded one. And if you plan to play next gen games on ultra or high settings i'd upgrade the cpu to an i5 and get 8gb ram, the gpu is fine for most games, but it won't run ultra for long. You get around 45 fps on bf4 with ultra which is a high end current gen game (considered next gen). but you always can upgrade the gpu after a year or two :) 

I highly recommend upgrading the CPU and rams for a way better gaming experience.

cooler master extreme series is junk and cx corsair a mediocre at best. i would avoid both of these psu!

The Power Supply Unit tier list

any Tier two Class B or above are recommended! what budget do you have? for 900p you will be performing quite well. an i5 vwould be a lot better on online gaming though!

The best bet for you is Seasonic S12II 520. Solid PSU for the money.

I will also suggest not to use 6 GB ram. Too much pain using two different sticks. use 1x4 or 1x8 or 2x4 absolutely same RAM's. Best use 2x4 kits. I do not have any respect for Zeon, I will suggest Corsair vengeance or G skill sticks.
