I want to know if I should get R9 270x or not

Should I upgrade PSU to a 600w one?

CPU: i3 3220
GPU: Sapphire HD 7770 GHz
RAM: 8GB
PSU: A 450w one
MOBO: Mini H61
My case is also small
Will the R9 270x even fit if its 1-2cm longer?

That would be a good upgrade option. I wouldn't get a better card than the 270x, though. As it might be bottlenecked by your CPU. As for the PSU, your 450w will be sufficient for this GPU upgrade. You should measure the dimensions inside your case, where the card would sit. Just make sure not to get the Toxic edition (3 fans.) What is the exact MOBO you have?

I will check as soon as I get home but I think it was H61M-P31 (G3)

It looks like you will be able to use that GPU on that MOBO. So you just need to check the measurements and you will be good.
