Is the Zebronics 600w PSU enough to run a HD7950?

Max ratings usually mean that the PSU can only sustain those output lvels for limited periods of time. That's a classic indication of an overrated, overpriced low quality PSU. I wouldn't trust that PSU in te sme room as a $400 HD7950 much less trust t to provide clean stable power to my PC.

Junk...wouldn't trust it with a $400 GPU. Look at something like the Seasonic S12II-520: http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-s12ii-520-watts-psu/p/...
Other options that are slightly less expensive: Antec VP550: http://www.flipkart.com/antec-vp550-550-watts-psu/p/itm... or the Corsair CX500: http://www.flipkart.com/corsair-cmpsu-500cxv2uk-500-wat...

I'd stick with the Seasonic for two extra years of warranty and a better quality PSU.

Corsair TX750, if I can afford it, can it run my config?

4 x Sata HDD
i7 lynnfield 2.93
ATI 7950

I also want to ensure that I dont have to switch PSUs in case I want to use a crossfire setup in the future... will the TX750 be enough?

If you were to recommend a PSU for this setup of mine (with an option of adding another 7950 in the future) what would you recommend (I would prefer a modular PSU) Is there anything apart from the TX750 that I should check?

No restrictions on budget... the best quality PSU that can support my config with the option of crossfiring (is that a word ;) ) in the future... If the TX750 (costs 9k) is what it takes then I will get it, but if something a little lesser will do the same, ill take that, if there is a reason for me to spend more than 9k I will do that too... I just dont want to buy something today and replace it in a few months :) 

hows the seasonic one better than the tx750 bro? The TX750 comes to the same price.... and sorry I forgot to reply I am trolling ebay global buy and junglees amazon international program... I dont mind waiting a month to get the stuff cuz I ordered my 7950 today via junglee and need to wait a month anyway :) 

The Corsair TX750V2 is sufficient for a system with two HD7950s running in two way Crossfire mode and it is an excellent PSU. I did not see it on Flipkart, but other options there are:
1. Antec Earthwatts EA-750: http://www.flipkart.com/antec-ea-green-750-watts-psu/p/...
2. Antec HCG 750: http://www.flipkart.com/antec-hcg-750-750-watts-psu/p/i...
I'd choose the least expensive between the TX750, the EA750 and the HCG750.

If you're going to Crossfire, then the extra expense for a modular PSU isn't really worth it because you're going to use almost every cable anyway.

Not a lot of modular options on Flipkart but here is an awesome PSU that fits your requirements: http://www.flipkart.com/seasonic-x-series-80-plus-gold-... Seasonic X760KM modular and 80+ Gold. The Antec TP650 is partly modular: http://www.flipkart.com/antec-tp-650-watts-psu/p/itmd5x... but the PSU may get louder when running two 7950s because it will be under a higher percentage load. Great PSU.

The Seasonic has better electrical performance, is fully modular and is 80+ Gold certified; it's a significant upgrade to the TX750V2.

Edit: Corrected warranty info...both have a 5 year warranty

It is based on an older design that has been discontinued by Seasonic but it is still a good PSU and more than sufficient for your PC, the SS-750AT would also be sufficient. If it's not new, then you're losing some of the warranty.

Bought it off flipkart itself there was a instant cash discount that I failed to see, bought the price down to 9016 :)  Thanks guys... wow I opened a thread and issue resolved within a few hours awesome support guys, much appreciated... check my channel on youtube if you have an android device maybe I can be of help to pay you back :)
