Yep, you'll be fine so long as you don't try to crossfire.

Will a Corsair CX600W Modular Power Supply be enough for this build, even if overclocking in the future ?

I would go with a 750W to allow you to expand in the future. I think the small extra cost is worth it.

A good alternative in that price range would be the OCZ ZT 550w. http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/ocz-power-supply-oczzt550w

It offer you full modularity, independent regulation for better voltage stability, and better cap choice on the secondary side of the PSU for better reliability.
