I currently have;

Radeon HD 7770
AMD FX 6100 Processor
500 Watt PSU
and a Gigabyte 760G Motherboard

I'm replace my old GPU with the R9 270 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127769), will my motherboard and PSU be able to handle it?

I'm pretty new to PC upgrading and I don't have much knowledge of motherboards. Anyone's help could really be appreciated.

Thanks, Brennan
 
That really depends on how good your PSU was when you got it. Can you provide a make and model for the PSU? The functional capacity of a "500W" power supply varies greatly between manufacturers and models.

Your motherboard should have no problem with it.
