Odd RAM setup, but go for a GTX 750 Ti and a new PSU. That doesn't support a 270x, the 270x needs 2 PCIe connectors.

I didnt! accept this kind of opinion from you! you are not even an an expert! 1st 750ti is only 60tdp card it can run any with psu! medium ! quality and you are using corsair cx series do you know cx series are made with cheapest capacitiors ! only rm ,cs, tx series are good quality psu! why are u running 2x 270x! why not r9 280x or 290 :/ i think your pc is more odd ! no offence :p and most of the 500 watts psu comes with 6+2 pin connectors ! not dual six pin! u must have to use molex! with the extra 2 pin !!! what should i do su*k my di*k ??
 
The card requires 2 6 pin connectors which you do not have.
A psu only has the connectors it can support... supposedly.
Your psu is a tier 5(not recommended, replace ASAP) unit on this list:

A cheap psu will not have the protective circuitry to protect the rest of your parts if it fails.
Since the psu requirements are still about the same as your 5850, go ahead and try it if you have already bought the R9-270X.
Otherwise, you might rethink your plan.

Calm down, there. I have 2 270x's because my PC was originally a more budget-oriented PC, and when I got the money, I upgraded it. The 270x's in crossfire perform better than a 780 Ti. That is a different story. My PC setup is used my thousands of others. If you think you are an expert at this, then you can handle it. If you do not think I am reliable, then you don't have to take my advice. I never said the 750 Ti couldn't be on that PSU. I said the 270X probably couldn't. The PSU has only ONE PCIe 6-pin power connector, the R9 270x takes TWO. I should know because I have 2 of them.

I used my old 5850 which requires 2 six pin connectors ! but i used it with my current psu! Though you have a point but I am just saying this because I have used molex before! :) Your opinion is also valueable for me ! I will think about this

You could use a Molex to PCIe connector. You should go with a 270x. That should be sufficient. My only concern is that you may get a bottleneck with that CPU. I had an Athlon X4 760K (about equal to that) and experienced a MAJOR bottleneck.

Alright, no problem. When you get the chance, go with the 4690K or 4690 depending on whether or not you are overclocking. You will not be disappointed with the results and I wish you the best of luck.
