The difference is that your current 600w PSU has the amperage of a 400w PSU. While that isn't a big problem and you won't be struggling to power your parts, PSUs work better when they're not near their limits.
Really there's no need to replace your current one yet though, I wouldn't worry about it unless it starts making suspicious noises :P
Looks pretty good. Again my only concern is the PSU but I don't blame you for not wanting to replace it.
You might also want to look into whether you can get more than just BF4 for free with that R9 270x too, there was some sort of ATI promo recently but I'm not sure it extended to the R9 series (I think it was for the old HD line cards) and I can't check due to poor connection :<
EDIT: Careful! I decided to check the reviews for that card, and apparently Newegg has run out of BF4 keys. Have a look at other vendors and 270x brands to see if you can find one that still has it on offer.
Other brands of R9 270x for around the same price include the
Sapphire and
MSI models - both are good cards but I can't really help digging up promos, sorry. I'm stuck on like dial-up here for the time being.
Double edit: Someone who bought the
Sapphire model over at Newegg on the 9th of December apparently received their copy of BF4, so if you were interested in BF4 for free I think there's your option.
