So I currently have:
.AMD FX-8350 @4.5ghz (1.42V)
.AMD 7870 @1100/1300.
.Asus M5A99FX Pro 2.0
.Corsair CX600.
.1 hard drive
.1 optical drive.
.4 case fans.

I plan on upgrading to a gtx 980 in the future and will be overclocking this, (I'm aware that this card has a relatively low power draw) but would the 600W be enough for the system with this overclocked hardware?

Many Thanks.

Doubtful. Overclocked FX is extremely greedy. Even default it consumed 125W and could have gone as high as 180W... but OC can get it to eat even more.

So no, not likely.
