So I plan to upgrade to a GTX 770, right now i have a 660.  I was wondering if my 600w Corsair CX600 would be enough to run the 770 or will i have to upgrade. I saw that a 600w psu is the lowest wattage that is advertised i just dont want to be bottlenecked

I used the asus power supply calc and it said i should have a 700w with all the other stuff i have, i guess i should add that i use an amd fx-8320.

That's even better.

600W should be fine. 

Though, I would buy another 750w for a safe overhead.

Its enough. Alltho the power supply isnt the best quality. So its not unreasonable to upgrade.

It more than enough for one 770, my pc uses about 330w with a overclocked gtx 770.

Im running it off a cx600m

A rule of thumb for this, if the psu includes enough connectors for your card, it can support it :)
