Well I'm planning on upgrading my GPU, but for that I will need to upgrade my power supply which I don't know a lot about, that's why I'm asking for help

4gb RAM (planning on upgrading to 8gb)

Its not amazing but it meets the standards. the XFX options is better because they are made by Seasonic who has produced excellent PSUs for their own brand and others. XFX uses seasonic platform and try to improve it slightly. A 550W xfx should be fine for your needs and cheaper.

go for xfx or Antec brand ( i suggest Antec)

for cards like R9 270 requires atleast 550W PSU and max DC out for 12V shld be atleat 30A.

and also get a UPS which have more wattage than your PSU's wattage

i think fx 4130 is lower range processor-> atleat go for fx 6300-> if you are in tight budget then just get fx 4300 instead.

Nope. a 270 does not require a 550w. BUT IT IS recommend to get at least a 550W but it consume at most 180 watts. I had my 270 on a crappy cooler master that was rated for 386 watts which is pushing it.
UPS is not needed unless the power in your household oftens gets power cuts or have unclean power.

i didn say 270 will consume 550W. we shld be in safer side -> he may use multiple hard drives, many cooler fans, 2 RAMs or any other accessories, so 550W is far better to have.

i just suggest to get UPS bcoz incase of any fluctuations or powercuts, his PC shld not switch off( its completely optional * i forgot to mention there)
