The VS650w has enough power to handle a 270x, it's just not a very good PSU though.

Any 450w+ power supply from a reputable brand (Seasonic, Antec, XFX) would have the required power. What country are you in?

Then it may be hard for you to find Seasonic, Antec or XFX. Take a look at this list:

You will see that the Corsair VS series is Tier 3 - ok, but not great. Try to find a PSU from tier one or tier two if you can

That sounds more like a temperature issue to be honest. It could be the PSU but if it was the PSU it's more likely just wouldn't turn on.

Check your temperatures, check for dust, and check your case fans are plugged in and spinning.

Dust buildup reduces airflow inside a case and causes temperatures to rise. If you don't use a case then this isn't an issue - I assume you're cooling it with a fan?
