Go for something between 750-850W. You definitely don't need to spend the extra money on a 1000W+ PSU. All my life with computers I've just never liked getting anything below 700W.

Yes, 600w is good amount for this situation. I would go with the GS600. Also, have you consider grabbing a gtx 760 instead of the r9-270x? The 760 performs about 10%-15% higher than the 270x.

To run a 270x, 750-850W will be overkill. You could run 2 off of that. The 2 PSUs you mentioned, Corsair VS650 and GS600, will be more than enough to run your system, and are decent PSUs. My choice would also be the GS600.
