I was going to buy a EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply, but i dont know if is overkill or just right for the next system

 

MOBO: Gigabyte LGA 1150 Intel B85 Motherboards

CPU: Intel Core i5-4570 Haswell Quad-Core 3.2GHz LGA 1150

COOL: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan

RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (1 X 8GB) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz

CASE: Cooler Master N200 + 2x Cooler Master SickleFlow 120 - Sleeve Bearing 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan and 2 stock 120mm fans

Storage: Seagate Barracuda  1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

Storage: ADATA Premier SP600 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

GPU: Not decided yet, between R9 280, GTX 760, R9 285, R9 280x, GTX 960 and R9 290 (probably R9 280x)

 

I came from the video "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=power+supply+as+fast+as+possible"and i dont know if going for 600w is a good idea anymore

600 watts will do fine. I would go with the 280x, but try to get the 290 if you can.

It's a decent PSU but there's others in the price range that are better, such as the Capstone 550W.

$50dlls

If you can spend a bit more then these are both better options and are honestly the minimum I would go. Since the 600B is already

Unless you're going for GTX 960, in that case, even this is enough http://pcpartpicker.com/part/seasonic-power-supply-ss350etbronze

isnt 350 below the need of the system alone without the GPU?, i ran a calculator and told me 410 without the GPU

Nope. GPU is rated for 120W, CPU for 85. That's 205W for the two most power hungry components, everything else will use at most 50-100W.

 

As stated, 350 will be fine with a GTX 960 system, but not with a competing AMD card. You'll want at least 500W for a 280/X and 550W for a 290.
