Solution
Not sure about the quality of your power supply, and that is a very important factor to consider.
But for reference purposes, I run my r9 280x on a XFX 550W 80bronze (decent quality) PSU.
I also have an i5-4460 and 8GB of RAM with an SSD.
So yes, you're good with that 600W, but I strongly recommend a good quality PSU for a future upgrade

ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5 - requires one 75-Watt 6-pin & one 150-Watt 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors
ASUS R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-V2 - requires two 150-Watt 8-pin PCI-Express power connectors
What's the exact model number of your Cooler Master 600w PSU? There's at least eight different 600W models.

That's the discontinued Cooler Master GX-Lite 600W. The OEM is ATNG. It does suffer from its group regulated circuit design where the +5V or +12V rail will go out of ATX12V specs when the PSU is crossloaded.
It has two 150-Watt (6+2)-pin PCI Express supplementary power connectors so it'll handle whichever ASUS R9 280X model you get.

Dayum man, Thanks a lot ! I really appreciate that.
Card arrives at approx. 23:30 (UTC +02:00). So if there will be any problems, I'll poke you
But there's still one thing im worried about - 6+8 pin pcie power required. That's what seller said.

A (6+2)-pin connector can be used as either a 6-pin connector or an 8-pin connector. What's there to worry about?
