I am going to upgrade my GPU and I chose the R9 270X from Asus, but im worried about the wattage, this is my PSU '' http://www.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/powersupply/... ''

On AnandTech it says the whole system in load peaked about 284 watts.
Here is the article http://www.anandtech.com/show/7503/the-amd-radeon-r9-27....

So will my PC be able to run it?

assuming that unit really puts out what it says, yes. What else do you have under the hood? How many HDD's and what kind, do you have a DVD or CD drive? these can make a difference in this case

actually I take that back, you need 500 watts, you might might might get away with a r9 270, not the X version it needs more power. But consider this, manufacturers usually recommend more power than they really do, still no way to really tell unless you put it in your build to see if it works

I'd be leery of it, that PSU only carries about 325 watts on the 12 volt rail - I myself would chance it.

Might, I'd want a little more voltage myself, if nothing OCed, it could prob carry it.
