HD Radeon 7970 PSU - Will it run?

[Zephyer13]

Hello everybody! I am going to invest in a 7970 soon and I was wondering if my PSU would be able to handle it. I am making my own thread because I have a somewhat heavily OCed 2500k and am planning on heavily OCing my 7970. So, my specs are:

i5-2500k @ 4.7ghz and 1.360 Vcore
(Soon to be) Radeon 7970 w/ Arctic Accelero Xtreme 7970 cooler - With this cooler I am thinking of ~1625mhz memory and 1.1-1.2Ghz core with 20% Power COntrol Settings
8 GB of ADATA DDR3 RAM (2x4)
HAF 922 Case (With an extra side fan which has a Blue LED and is 200mm)
ASUS Sabertooth P67 Motherboard
NHD14 CPU Cooler
Win 7
Single 1TB HDD
SIngle CD Drive
CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 (CMPSU-600CX) 600W ATX12V v2.3 Active PFC Power Supply

The reason I am getting the cooler is because I want the BEST single card experience I can possible have (excluding the xx90's, as they require a much higher wattage and are generally not worth the money, IMO) So, to accomplish this, I am getting the cooler to OC it as high as possible. Looking at Benchmarks, heavily OCed 7970's can have up to ~20% better performance than stock! I will mostly be playing BF3 maxed out with no MSAA, since it barely imroves quality and destroys your framerate. Heres a link to my PSU. Thank you!

Using similar setup whole system is using less than 400Watts (under load Gaming from the wall). idle 80W. Since my power suplly is ~90% Eff you can calculate the rest, actual power usage. Looks like 750 Watts is enough for Crossfire, you should have no problem running one card on a 600 Watts.

My current setup
2700K @4.6 1.385v
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB @ DDR3 2133 1.6V
Sapphire HD 7970 @ 1125 Core/1575 Mem_Stock Volts
ASUS Maximus Gene Z
ASUS Xonar Essence STX
2 X OCZ 120GB Vertex 3 SSD
Deskstar 5K3000
Corsair 750AX
SilverStone TJ08-E

using 550 Watts if you add
Dell 3007FPW
M-Audio Studiophile BX8a
Power measurement taken using Blue planet energy meter
Hope that helps
