I would get the AX1200i. If you don't have enough money to buy a quality PSU, then you don't have enough for your build.

I would say never skimp on your PSU it will be the thing that will keep your components running but can be devastating to your components when it fails. I wouldn't go the coolmax route I do not trust them enough. But if you find the EVGA to expensive look into other options there are a lot of PSU's on the market from brands like coolermaster, BE QUIET! and many more. You should look into those for sure!

I want everything pink

OK, just for the record, 3 way CF/SLI is worthless you'd be better of buying a More powerful single card, or just Two Cards and call it a day, and i suggest a Seasonic X Series 1250W 80+Gold, relatively Cheap, very Good build quality, and as every body else said, never skimp and buy a crappy PSU, if it fails, you're screwed

Most important part of a rig, should never skimp out on the PSU.

AMD Phenom II 965 C3 @3.8GHz / Scythe Ninja III / 8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport / MSI 990FXA-GD65 / MSI R9 270x 4GB / EVGA 600W Bronze / Asus Xonar DG

If you skimp  on a good quality power supply you'll definitely run into a lot of trouble. I'd say any 850w-1000w with a decent silver minimum 80+ efficiency will be borderline. @Awesome274

EVGA Supernova G2 would be an excellent choice.
