Hey

CPU - very good, 6 cores, beat's the i5 4670 in gaming
Motherboard - Socket AM3+ just like your CPU supports
HDD doesnt matter
That case is prety nice, would check myself too *update* It's up to you, both midi tower, take the best looking one!
270x will handle all games at max at 1080p
PSU - never heard of that marker, but 600W is enough for your system just make sure not to put another graphics card in!

Not a bad build but I would personally get a different PSU (Tt isn't exactly known for reliable power supplies).

The Thermaltake SMART Series 650W is only $5 more with the same 5-year warranty. It also has a single 52 amp rail.

I've used quite a number of their PSUs without issue

Since when does the FX 6300 outperform the i5 4670? More cores ≠ More power.

I must applaud you. You have made excellent choices here, maximizing your dollar. I would probably forgo the black drive as it won't really help you in gaming performance and since you already have an SSD for Windows, system performance won't be as impacted either. I agree with Wisecracker that the extra $5 is definitely worth the 50W PSU improvement.

I would change the motherboard to a Gigabyte 970a-ud3p. It is a better board and has been selling for a bit less lately than that Asus one.
