Cooler: stock 


GPU: XFX Double Dissipation R9 390 1000MHZ 8GB DDR5


Mobo: ASRock H97M PRO4 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard


Ram: Kingston HyperX FURY 8GB Kit (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3


Hard drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM

How many watts do I need(bare minimum). I'm on a really tight PSU budget. Any recommendations?

Don't get the EVGA 600B. Skimping on the PSU is a really bad idea. Get the SSD now, good PSU now (maybe EVGA B2 or GS or Antec High Current Gamer), then when you can afford another HDD buy it then. I hate it when people throw tons of money at the performance components and then think that there's some magical way of getting a good PSU with the $40 they have left. It just doesn't work that way.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

Would I need more that 600W? Based off most reviews this PSU is pretty viable. (It costs 58.99, without mail-in rebate)

Reviews mean nothing at all. 600W is more than enough by a long ways, however the 600B is not very good. User reviews on Amazon mean nothing as the person got the PSU a couple days prior, it hasn't lit up in flames or anything, and they liked the way the packaging looked.

Ok I will look into it. Thanks

Check out the PSU whitelist in my sig. I think you can maybe afford something from XFX, but I'm not sure where you're located.
