Not really worth it, the 270 is basically a 7870 so while it is faster, not a whole lot for your money. Might be worth hanging onto for a while

If you look at this chart the rule of thumb is if it is 2 tiers above your current gpu then it is worth the upgrade. the 270 is 4 so it should be nice and will work fine with your psu

Here is the chart, and yes, rule of thumb, you want to go at least 2 tiers up with an upgrade, or you will feel like you are not getting much of an upgrade.
At 4 tiers up, for $200, I would feel like this would be a worthwhile change.

I should add though you need enough CPU to run it!
