Hi,
I am new to building and I was wondering if the Corsair CX600M PSU has enough juice for this system (I do not intend to overclock, other than the factory settings of the parts):

AMD FX-6530 (got this 20eur cheaper than the 6300) + CM Hyper 212 Evo
ASUS M5A97 R2.0
2x 4 Mb Kingston Hyperx Fury 1866 (blue :))
Sapphire R9 270x Toxic
Kingston SSDNow V300 120Gb
1x WD Black 1Tb
1x WD Green 3-4Tb (to be added later)
ASUS 24x DVD-writer

I have tried several PSU wattage calculators and they recommend 450W to 550W (taking capacitor aging into account), however I would like to get a second opinion from somebody who has experience with these things.

Thanks a lot.

The cx600m can easily supply the power to run that entire system. It has enough wattage to power a second 270x if you ever need to go for a crossfire array. The reliability of the CX and CX-M series PSU's is fairly good, especially if you don't plan on demanding overclocks.

Hi - dwatter is correct, the cx600 has more than enough power for your system. The important spec is
not toal power, but the +12v rail amps(CPU, GPU, HDD, Fans, etc draw their current fom the +12v rails).
Your sys requires 25 +12v amps, and the cx600 has 40 or 46 +12v amps (depending on model), easily
more than enough, and plenty of headroom.
