It does. Two 12V rails at 20A each, combined maximum 380W (31.7A).
That means it's more like a 400W power supply, and I wouldn't recommend it for a 7970. Should be sufficient for a 270X, provided the ratings are honest and the quality is high enough. I don't feel confident about that.

The CPU upgrade wouldn't make much of a difference to power consumption (and not a heck of a lot to performance either).
On paper the power supply should be sufficient, though you might need to use a molex to PCIe adapter for the graphics card. But in practice, I can't say I trust that power supply. Not at all, especially not if you use a molex to PCIe adapter with it.
