Is the hardware going to be overclocked?

The CX600 is a perfect PSU for your needs.

Although, I'm using a 450W, and I can get a 7950 if I want, and I have a 125W CPU.

yeah although if you're going to crossfire later on, might as well get a 750 watt psu now

I vote for a 500 or higher. A good brand 500 should be fine.

I managed to run overclocked and overvolted crossfire 7870's and a 3570k at 4.3GHz (along with multiple drives, sound card, etc.) and while I don't recommend doing something like that, 600w is  perfectly fine for what you need. Had a new PSU on the way in the mail, and was curious how far I could go with just the 600w.

 

Remember, what really matters is quality, not just wattage. The cx600m that was mentioned would be a great solution.
