Im planning on putting a GTX 970 and an AMD FX 8350 in a computer and I was wondering if they will be able to run off of a Corsair CX600 power supply

Doesn't leave a lot of headroom if you were to say add a second GPU but, is more than enough for your current system.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure. I've had multiple people tell me it wasn't enough, so I started second guessing myself

Unless you're either an extreme gamer or running a very high-end monitor setup it wouldn't make much difference anyways.

 

The only real reason to get a better PSU would be either for better cable management or power efficiency :)

I only plan on running a 1080p monitor and a 720p monitor on this, and on the gaming side I just do a LOT of gaming but I wouldnt classify it as "extreme" gaming.

It'll be fine, just MAKE SURE to get at least a good efficiency PSU (Corsair CX600M isn't bad for that).
