A couple of things in play with power supplies. It's not just as easy as adding up the numbers and getting something that barely covers them. Many list their 'max' or 'peak' power output. That's not their average/continuous output which is usually lower. A good rule of thumb is to factor power requirements, then those should only be about 80% of the 'max' power output of the psu.
You also need to know what kind of amps that video card draws. For instance I just plucked a random psu out of the lineup at newegg, a thermaltake 430w. That's peak watts, not continuous - and it has 2 12v rails, one supplying 17a, the other 18a. If your video card pulls 20a? You're sol. It won't be strong enough and you'll wonder why you're getting black screens and system reboots and crashes the minute the graphics card has to work under load.
A faq from the msi forums has a listing of various cards (of course doesn't list the plain 270) - for r9 260x 19a. For r9 270x 24a. Keeping in mind these are the lower power consumption ranges for the ati cards. The more power hungry ones require 30+ amps for a single card. It's not really that much difference in price, maybe $10 or $20 for a larger psu? I wouldn't split hairs and just get a decent, capable psu to give you a solid foundation for your system or you're liable to have all sorts of future headaches chasing down issues. Just my .02.
