I'll get an i5 4440 and a sapphire r9 270x. Will the power supply handle these components?

That's really a very low-powered PSU and probably only suitable for some HTPS or NAS applications. FOr the same money you can get any number of PSUs in the 500+W range and those would be better.

you need 2x6pin power cables for that gpu. the seasonic g360w is great but providing 1x6pin cannot run that gpu. best option is.

It seems like it would be pushing it a bit, but that PSU is rated for the full 360 watts on it's 12v rails alone. I know my own 3570k witha GTX670 only pulls a shade above 300 watts from the wall, which is about 270-275 delivered to the machine... Your design would put it at pretty similar power usage, and 275 watts would be less than the 'rule of thumb' 80% capacity.

You'd be really cutting off your upgrading options though, but it should power it just fine.
