Nobody can tell you if it is "good enough" by only knowing it is 600w. That can mean a unit that says 600w but can only really supply 450w or it can mean a unit that is 600w but in reality can actually do more like 700w because it is well built. Knowing the model number and brand of your unit is the only way we can recommend whether it is wise to use that unit with your proposed very expensive graphics card or not.

You definitely don't want to be using ANY kind of cheap power supply with that card unless you just have money to be throwing away. What is the EXACT model number as listed on the label on the PSU?

Darkbreeze :

it’s a cooler master master lite 600w found a few reviews about it seems pretty solid and also found a review where a guy used it as a back up while his other psu was on An RMA and he ran a 7700k oced and a 1080ti

Do you mean MasterWatt lite 600w?

I wouldn't use that unit with that GPU card, or any card really. Cooler Master is TOO well known for low quality power supplies. I could list ten reasons why I wouldn't use that, but I'll just post a link to this thread that outlines the biggest reasons why I wouldn't use it.
