You have a PSU that says 530 watts .... whether it can deliver any where near that is unlikely.

AMD R9 270 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watt power supply unit.
AMD R9 270 Crossfire - On your average system the cards require you to have a 700 Watt power supply unit as minimum.
If you are going to overclock GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina.
Look for an XFX Core Edition 500 or 650, Seasonic S12 - 620

Do you wish to OC the CPU? If yes, then you can go ahead with the CPU-GPU combo, but since you'll be OCing, I wouldn't put that PSU in the build, even EVGA 500/600B which's $30/35 resp will be enough and a lot better choice. You'd also need an af cooler and good OCing MoBo for an eight core processor.
If you're willing to do that, well and good, or else i5 non-K with B85/H81 MoBo and something like 270 or 270X is another great option besides being good on even 450W VP.

Best solution
No reason to dislike rebates IMO. A much non-OCing build with better GPU and CPU:
