What CPU do you have also?
I would get a quality PSU, like Corsair, Silverstone, XFX, EVGA

Buy a GTX970 instead, OP.
Better performance and less power usage at a similar price.

And yes, a GTX970 will run comfortably with a 650W PSU.

But would a 600w PSU be suffiecient to run that and the rest of my system?

There is more to the story than wattage...

Forget the PSU that you listed, it is not a good PSU. Go with something good, like the EVGA 600B that _I_ kindly suggested.

^ Good reference to go by, in terms of quality.

I'd also recommend not buying a 780 Ti... For that price point, you can do better and get a 980.. which outperforms it and will have all the latest features and tech.

Yea those TigerDirect Ultra ones are crap; worse than Rosewill Bronze series PSUs.

Get a quality PSU like other said. And yes EVGA 600B would be fine for GTX 780 Ti and the entire system; even if u have a higher wattage CPU such as AMD FX-8 series.

Unless you are getting that 780 Ti cheap, I would advise just buying a new un-used GTX 970 instead.

The minimum for that card is 600w so your just inside the limit.
