Hello all I am almost finished with my first ever build and wanted to just double check something. I have a 7950 and a i5 3570k with asus z77 mobo and was wondering if 600watt psu was enough for now. I do plan on overclocking both cpu and gpu as well as crossfire, but will be getting a bigger psu, but for now just leaving everything stock with a slight gpu overclock if needed to achieve 60fps on battlefield 3. I ran a more detailed calculation on some website forgot which one, but it said I would only be pulling 400watts at max load and that just seemed a bit low and was just looking for some feedback thanks all.
 
Solution
You are right! 600 watts will work fine for what you have in mind.

However, make sure that the PSU is a good make such as Corsair, Antec, Seasonic, to name a few.
