My specs as this moment are as follows,

Asus M5A97 LE r2.0 Mobo
AMD FX-4130
Radeon HD 7770
8GB RAM
2tb HDD
DVD RW
450w PSU
2 case fans w/cold cathode lighting

I'm looking to upgrade the CPU to the FX-8350, and the GPU to R9 270x. What PSU would suffice? Thank you.

125W CPU + 150W GPU (?) + ~50W more for the rest of the system = 325W. This means your 450W MIGHT be enough. I have a similar wattage system being powered by my 450W gold PSU. But my PSU has two 6+2 PCIe plugs. 450-550W should be fine, provided it's a good unit that can handle that load.
