600w psu does not tell us your actual draw.
you could estimate by using a psu calc site to get a rough idea. keep in mind that idle power usage is much less than gaming usage.
you can use this chart http://www.apc.com/products/runtime_for_extendedruntime.cfm?upsfamily=27 along with your estimates (i'm thinking likely in the 400-500w range under load) to come up with a runtime.
i would say the 330w/500va is undersized for your needs unless you have under 300w draw.
i use a 780w/1300va model for my system with an older i7 and gtx770. i can get about 10 minutes of runtime at idle or 3 or 4 at load.
