that's not a psu I would personally choose for a gaming pc but its more than plenty for your needs. your pc will never pull even 400 watts under full system load.

but I have got those parts mate I have corsair vengeance ram 4gbx2
I want to know that my cx 600 can handle my whole setup ?? I should I have to change my PSU ?? also I would like to mention is I have no intention in overclocking my GPU or CPU n I won't play games like bf3 but I play games like watch dogs,sleeping dogs GTA, the crew, crysis 3, Don Bradman cricket 14 like games.

The Corsair CX600 is a respectable PSU from a very reputable manufacturer. You'll be perfectly fine to build your PC around it with the spec's you've listed.

I was saying you were fine and there is no need to get a new psu.
