"i ordered the psu adapter "

what do you mean by this?

because the regular power supply that pc has is not good enough to run a 270x even with adapters...

If the size physically doesn't fit, you have to either return the gpu and get a different sized one (there are much smaller gpus with single fan only) or change the case. My choice would be a different case, because that is way too tiny to cool properly for anything but daily computer work. Considering the psu issues as well, just get a bigger case better able to accommodate your components.
