A Radeon R9-270X - needs at least 24A on the 12v rail and at least a 500w power supply.
The Corsair CX500 has 38 amps on the 12 volt rail , so yes it will be fine.

I found this pretty useful when I was deciding on a PSU:

And this scored PSU list was slightly less useful, but I paid attention to it too: http://www.eggxpert.com/forums/thread/323050.aspx
But you might be more interested in this (depending upon if you're paying for the Corsair 500, or someone is giving it to you).

...it's a refurb' unit (I don't have problems with refurb's but YMMV) ...but it's all of $30 after the rebate.
If you click on the little 750 icon on that page, they're also offering the 750W version for $40.
You might want to think about that.
