R9 270 is 150W and the total system load gets close to 250W, it can deliver over 400W and though it is known to fail, that particular one seems like it'd be able to handle the load, which's below its limit. But getting a better one is always a wise decision, like EVGA 500B for $35 from Newegg.

A cheap power supply is never recommended to run many systems (I don't tend to recommend running them at all). as listed above going for a cheap but decent quality PSU is far more beneficial as you don't want these cheap power supplies surging ultra high currents through your system which could mean you can lose many components due to it's poor surge protection.
