No, 1000W power supplies use different connectors than the 600W and are therefore incompatible. However, you can replace the 600W power supply in your machine with a (Slightly Cheaper) 450W power supply, because they are compatible.

The only problem would be a restriction on the number of devices the computer could support. ( Two hard drives instead of four--limited number of cards installed--etc.) +
