A Radeon R9-270X needs at least 24 amps on the 12v rail and a 500 watt power supply and 2 - 6 pin PCIE power connections.

The HEXA power supply has 2 - 18 amp 12v rails and 2 PCIE 6+2 pin Connections.

Answer: YES it can run your specs with the 3470 and R9 270X.

If it has two 18 amps do i still plug in a single 6 pin to the graphics card?

I might get fsp hexa 600 watt or seasonic 520 watt instead. They are both silent unlike the hexa witch one do you reccomend?

Is it really worth that extra money? I can get the fsp hexa with 600 watts for the same price
