Your 600W PSU should be plenty for this build. Try entering your details into a calculator like this if you want an estimate of whats required: http://powersupplycalculator.net/

The fx6300 is a reasonable CPU and is better value for money than the fx8320. But then the fx8320 would last you a little longer and is a fair chunk more powerful. Up to you really - it's a question of value vs performance/longevity.

Personally, I'd probably go for the more powerful CPU as I don't like to upgrade very often.
