That psu can power those cards but a lot of people have been having reliability problems with the cx series so they arent recomended

At the same time? No, you are safer getting at least a 650w Corsair PSU or other such well known brand.

Individually?, yeah...I know people with AMD 8 cores and that PSU with a 270x and they are all good. In fact, they even have stable overclocks on that PSU.
