so i want to buy psu now, recently i get msi gtx 970 and i5 4690 2 days ago , now i want to buy a psu, actually gtx 970 just need 500-550 psu, but i want to buy 600w psu of corsair CX (well this is weird) why? because i don't want to spend more money for 550w good brand like Seasonic G 550/Corsair CSM 550 why? cuz for future bro! haha XD

and now my question is : Cx600 Good for gaming like this spec :
-i5 4690
-gtx 970 msi gaming 4g
-1 hdd of Wdc Cav blue 1tb
-1 Ssd of Samsung 840 Evo 128gb
-3 fan case (Bitfenix Ronin)
-Mobo asrock H97 Performance
- 2x4 gb of ram corsair Vengeance

so? i heard cx series are budget psu a.k.a "Tier 3" i just want to play at stock and no OC anything (well gtx 970 msi can be gaming mode/Boost)

I disagree with you that getting a cx600W will make you more future proof than getting an XFX550W (for example). One has a 3 year warranty and the other a 5 year. Doesn't necessarily mean that is all they will last, but it does point to how much confidence the respective companies have in their product's future. One has 100% Japanese capacitors in it, the other is made with some cheaper ones.

Bottom line, the CX600 will work no problem. But it is kind of a strange pairing for the system you are building. All of your parts are top end. Really high quality parts. Then you want to feed them all with an entry level PSU?
