My main reason for buying the 270X is both mantle as well as the current one selected comes with BF4.

 

Also I haven't found any horror stories with that Rosewell PSU, anyone know if they know any?

Mantle will be on much older cards and the 270X is a rebaged 7870 anyway plus rosewell is meh and 450 watt PSU is all you need, I'd get a Corsair CX line PSU.

Better power supply, it is the most important investment and people always cheap out. You don't want a cruddy PSU shorting out and ruining all your component!

No. The only cards that get True Audio are the 290, 290X, and the 260X.

Rosewill is more of a blanket brand so they have hits and misses. I'd stick to their Hive and Capstone series psus.

There's little point getting the 270x over the 270 unless they're the same price.
