What's going on boys,

A few days ago my Radeon 5670 went out and I'm looking to upgrade.
Here are my specs

CPU: AMD Phenom(tm) 2 X6 1075T Processor 3.0GHz
RAM: 7G
PSU: Max Watt is 460W,

I'm pretty new when it comes to upgrading hardware and I'm a little nervous to commit on a purchase. Will I need to upgrade my power supply and if so does anyone have any recommendations? Will my motherboard bottleneck the GPU? Thanks for your time, looking to hear back with any advice.

Here is the link to the R9 270X:

Here is my motherboard:

A quick question about the PSU, I went to this website to calculate how much Watts I will need and it came up to be 950W. Does that sound right or is there something I'm missing?
Will a 600W PSU be enough to power my system?
