Hi, I just got a new Corsair CX600 and I'm wondering if its a good enough psu for some mild gaming / rendering on two monitors? Will it be able to support my build? I have an i5-4690, ASRock Fatal1ty Z97X Killer Mobo & EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked 4GB... Thanks :)

The model isn't great, IMO and according to the majority of experienced builders, but the capacity is fine. You'd be wise to invest in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 unit from the following list, at some point, but your unit will hopefully last through it's warranty period. I don't generally recommend the CX, CS, RM or VS Corsair units for high end gaming cards, but you could have a much worse unit in all honesty.

The PSU is rated at 600W, but will only deliver them below 30°C, adove that temp it will be able to deliver less power, but your system should use around 400w, so you're not pushing it too far. Usually, you ask if a part is good before buying it, not after, we could have told you about a better PSU for the same price.
