300W is not enough. Get 550W at least.

It's common sense. If you don't provide enough power... you risk the chance of your power supply overloading and destroying every hardware connected to it.

The recommended PSU wattage is 500 for the Radeon R9 270. Also, it's most likely your cheap 300W power supply doesn't have the power connectors for the Radeon R9 270 so you're forced to buy a new power supply anyways.
