will my psu be enouth for my system?

[JapanFreak]

so i have an i5 3470 , 8 gb ram 1600 mhz, 1 ssd 1 hdd , one nvida 660 ti and i want to add a secound nvidia 660ti)

the two options i have for psu (withouthaveing to buy e new one ) are the coolermaster Real Power M620  or crosair cx600

my question is will any of my psu handle my pc?

[iRileyx]

Both will be fine for the wattage output, but i'd trust the cx600 over the real power.

There are multiple PSU-Calculators online. Just google it and try one with your system configuration out!
I quickly tried it out with the specs you wrote and the Cooler Master PSU calculator said you have a load wattage of 313 watts, so 600W should be more then enough!

Most wattage calculators are quite inaccurate.

The Cooler Master Calculator served me well because you can factor in different clock speeds, ...
And I measured it on several rigs afterwards and it was pretty accurate (+/- 50W). 

BTW the 313W I wrote were for just one 660ti.

Corsair is the better option of the two if you're not a fan of your rig catching on fire <3

My Corsair PSU has been nothing but good for me, and about 6 or 7 different GPU setups I've ran in this rig. Only other brand PSU I'd personally use would be EVGA, but that's my personal preference

One 660ti regardless of the CPU in the system it's paired with will never demand 313W. Cooler Master, Outervision, all those calculators are BS. Look at Guru3D testing of specific hardware and it'll tell you how much power draw to expect.

I'd not SLI two cards on a CX600. That said, 600W is plenty.
