Theoretically yes but in practical terms you don't need a 600W for a r9-270X however if you choose to get one you might aswell choose a different brand than Corsair and Search for XFX or EVGA or Seasonic as they manufacture quite reliable Power Supplies. Its not to say that all of Corsair's PSUs are bad but the CX series isn't the great . A good PSU would be something like that for instance : http://www.amazon.com/XFX-ATX-550-Power-Supply/dp/B004R...

Taking price out of the equation would you say that the XFX is superior despite less wattage?
