hi at the moment im running an I5 3470 with a sapphire HD 7770, my power supply is a corsair 500W builder series will this be enough to handle an R9 270x card, and would the upgrade be worth my while?

Ive just noticed that the core clock and boost clock is less than my 7770Ghz edition, will this slow down my FPS on games? sorry im new to all this?, how does the core clock and boost clock effect its performance??

Most important thing is no.of graphics processing units. 270 have 1280 graphics processors compared to 640 of 7770ghz. Even if r9 270 clock speed is a bit slower it will still give about twice the performance of 7770ghz.
