Even its overclocked to 4.3 ghz you will still have headroom left with the PSU.

Yes no problem at all the PSu is strong enough for handling 2x r9 270 easily r9 270 TDP = 150 so 150x2=300 watt fx 6300 TDP = 95 watt and other parts max 50 - 70 watt SO , you can see that you will still be left with some headroom.

Plus the wattage i have given is at max load which you will only acquire while doing benchmarking/stress testing.

That 620w is plenty of power as prit87 and LikaBoki have said. ...and as LukaBoki was getting at, the FX 6300 is an fine CPU, but in this scenario your machine is a bit unbalanced. Your GPU potential is way above your CPU potential. It will run and you will see large gains over running a single GPU, but overclocking that FX-6300 would be very welcome (if not already overclocked) and would let the pair of GPUs stretch their legs a bit more.
