If you were running that CPU and GPU combo I would suggest getting a better PSU.
The EVGA 600W has been heavily reviewed and doesn't provide reliable power to a enthusiast gaming rig: http://www.overclock.net/t/1500086/why-you-should-not-buy-an-evga-400-430-500-600-500b-600b
From the article: "Now, they aren't the best units in the world but for those prices they are perfect for cheap office builds. If you are building a cheap gaming rig I would recommend you spend a bit extra and go with an Antec Earthwatts or similar, I wouldn't want to use these units in a stressful environment."
The wattage is correct, but the internal components of the EVGA 600 are cheap. If you're putting a top-tier graphics card and CPU in your PC I recommend pairing them with a high-quailty PSU.
Two recommendations for replacement:

**The EVGA 650 G2, while still carrying the EVGA title, is made by a completely different company than your 600W version. The G2 is one of the best PSU's in the market right now.
