It comes with the case? I'm going to say no, dont take the risk. Not only does a R9 270 require at least 24A on the 12V rail but you dont even know the manufacturer of that PSU, if it comes with the case, it could be some chinese 300 watt piss poor PSU that cant even pull 400. Get a quality PSU

These are just two of quality, 80+ efficiency certified PSUs. Tip of advice: Dont skimp out on your PSU, it is the heart of your system, you wouldn't take some weak chinese heart that isn't guaranteed to work and you didn't know who it belonged to if you needed one would you??

For a system using a single Radeon R9 270 graphics card AMD specifies a minimum of a 500 Watt or greater system power supply. The power supply should also have a maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 28 Amps or greater and have at least one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector.

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) 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 Thermaltake Litepower 450W (usually this is the 450W model, made by FSP, included with Thermaltake's cases) power supply unit, with its maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of 34 Amps and with one 75-Watt 6-pin PCI Express supplementary power connector, is sufficient to power your system configuration with a single Radeon R9 270 graphics card.

I thought he linked to thermaltake they make a good PSU and the specs given were good for a 450w psu just about the same as this one.

What he linked to was a thermaltake case, and the case came with a PSU, doesn't show what brand it is.

your answer looks perfect
i just want to ask one more question
i forget to sell that my processor is i5-4670k in stock speed and im not going to oc it
can the PSU handle both of them and im planning to get 2 or 3 more fans for the case
thanks in advance

An i5-4670K is an 84W TDP processor that only draws around 71 Watts at the motherboard's CPU power plug when running at stock clock speed at 100% load. You should be fine since graphics card manufacturers use a 130W TDP processor in their reference systems when testing their cards and determining system PSU requirements.

Two to three more case fans would add about 18 to 27 Watts more to the system power consumption.

The Thermaltake Litepower 450W isn't a Haswell Compatible PSU so you should disable the C6/C7 power states in the motherboard's BIOS to prevent problems.

So they included a crap PSU with your case. The maximum combined +12 Volt continuous current rating of your PSU is 23 Amps which is not what is specified in your link to the computer case you provided in your original post. It's not going to work.

On this Thermaltake web page you can see that the PSU is a Thermaltake Litepower:

in my words i mean say* not sell

i will do what you say about C6/C7 right now
and i will get the r9-270 around 2 days
thank you :)

The cases sold in North America included the Thermaltake Litepower.

Based on your PSU image that PSU only accepts 220-240 VAC input so it's definitely not North America.
