Why not go for something better like the Corsair RM series or an XFX (which are cheap and reliable)? 450 should be good enough but only from a brand that's very stable and highly rated. Corsair's CS series aren't good for high end builds if you use the low models. if you're going to go cs or cx from corsair, at least use a 500 - 600W.

THAT PRICE tho!
Also, I trust every Corsair psu.
I'm just wondering is 450w will be enough for my gpu (r9 270)?
Also, can they fit in both cooler master haf 912 and Corsair 250D?

While I agree that poor choice in caps DOES suck, it is heat that they do not tend to like so in a cooler system it may be ok.
A few things to point out here.
Most ITX boards are quite power friendly.
The R9 270 is the kind of card that averages maybe 110-120 watts in most games(peaks may be about 150ish).
The case of choice having a bottom mounted power supply should help reduce the amount of heat it has to deal with.
The cpu is quite power friendly as well
If you are on a budget and that is all you can afford, I do not see any reason for it not to work. 80+ gold power supplies also tend to run more cool.
I am NOT trying to downplay the importance of a good power supply because is is the heart of your system and connected to everything. I just do not think it will be under powered in this instance(rather power friendly system). If you can afford to get something a bit better, you may feel better knowing you have higher quality parts inside.

I can at most buy a PSU within 70 to 100 dollars. However, why not buy a good cheap psu and save some money?
If you were me, would you buy the 450w psu, or buy other better (more expensive) gpu.
Also, if you weren't going for that psu, which one will you buy for my build?
If the psu is enough, I might even upgrade to psu to 270x.

I am the kind of person running a GTX 650ti on a 300 watt power supply. I have been since release and before that it was a 5770(4 years total. 24/7).
I carefully monitored all power use to ensure the system is not even close to overloading the power supply and mine actually does eat cpu heated air.
In your budget range you can get one of the XFX(seasonic made units for sure)
The 270x is not overly power hungry, but if pushed with the right load can eat about 180-200 watts(more with factory overclocked cards). Most games would hang in the 130-150 range.
Because I have no personal experience with that power supply. I would recommend seeing how the reviews stack up. It is a shame to see companies cut corners like this, but they take a chance that the power supply will be under used and used in a cooler environment.

I live in CA (so hot!)
If I bought a 270 and DON"T oc the gpu or the cpu (i5 4460).
Will the Corsair CSM 450W be enough????

you should be able to. I doubt it's that long of a pcb.So no or yes in COrsair 250D with Optical drive?
I cant say for sure but most likely yes
I do not want to buy the parts and regret later.
Also, can Asus r9 270 or 270x fit in the Corsair 250D with opt. drive too?

Based on what I can see the optical drive bay is behind the video card and should not touch it. As long as the video card does not have large components sticking out of the back side and is not longer than 290mm(more room than the 240mm i have in my SG05
), it should not even be an issue.
You also have to watch out for tall(wide?) cards that will sit too high above the pci-e slot.

Well I did find a review of the case with a GTX 670 DC II that is about the same size as your card.
It fits, but will be tight on the top connector location.
