For a system using a single AMD Reference Design Radeon R9 270X graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply.

Total Power Supply Wattage is NOT the crucial factor in power supply selection!!! Sufficient Total Combined Continuous Power/Current Available on the +12V Rail(s) rated at 45°C - 50°C ambient temperature, is the most critical factor.

Overclocking of the CPU and/or GPU(s) may require an additional increase to the maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current ratings, recommended above, to meet the increase in power required for the overclock. The additional amount required will depend on the magnitude of the overclock being attempted.

the vs450 psu has combined 360W on the 12V rails, that is 30 amps...
the reference 270x maxes out at 130W while gaming (furmark pushes it to 170W), the devil is overclocked card so it will use a bit more...
If the rest of your rig isn't a power hogging monster you should be just fine.
