Does this desktop have a high enough power supply?

Just wondering if the PSU on this pre-built gaming system is enough. I don't plan on upgrading it any time soon.

    First off all, $1450 for that PC is too much. You can build that for under $1200.

    YES, 600W is enough.

    I would however go with a 700W, it's never good to force a PSU towards max capacity, it will make lots of noise (fan), overheat and eventually fry itself and/or other components. Always get a PSU at least 20% bigger, or even more than your actual power requirement. This will also leave some room for future upgrades.

    GTX 670 needs a minimum of 500W:

    I have a 750W in my Intel Core i5-2500K based PC and an 880W in my AMD FX-8120 based PC, both with GTX 560 Ti cards. Both run smooth, silent and cool.

    (AMD needs more power than Intel)

    No , a 700 watt psu is better for gaming graphics though a 500 watt is all you need to meet the minimum requirements but sometimes in gaming the graphic card can peak pass that point , 600 watt is good for the specs but i still suggest 700 watt psu
