1650 Watt would be WAY overkill, even a 750 to 1000 Watt would be more than plenty for Dual 980Ti's And Overclocked components, And far cheaper.

Yes, a 450 watt power supply is sufficient for a R9 270. But if I were in your position, I'd upgrade to a tier 1, 650 watt PSU. That way, you'd have the option of upgrading in the future to a R9 390 or GTX 980 Ti.
