I'm back with an updated question. I had some graphics card issues for a while but can handle the situation for a little longer. Here's the problem: I wanted to buy a psu to replace my gc with a better one. Seasonic G-750 and Seasonic M12ii 620w are out of stock now (in my country), this is unbelievable. Now I'm wondering if my Xilence Red Wing 580w ( +12v1 20A +12v2 20A) can handle a R9 270, because if it works well after a few months I'll go for a new rig (a way better one ) and that's why I don't want to waste much money for a decent PSU. Also people say Broadwell will require a different PSU type so I don't want to buy Seasonic X series now.
My system is old here are the specs
Xilence Red Wing 580w
Gigabyte P43T-ES3G
Intel Q8300 2.5 Ghz Quad-Core
2 x 2 Gb Corsair 1600 Mhz
Seagate 1 TB SSHD
Sparkle Geforce GT 240

As you are probably aware, the R9-270 > R7-260X > GTX 750 Ti. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-car...But from what I can find in the way of specs for your Xilence Red Wing 580w, it should have no problem powering any of those cards along with your 95W CPU.
If you're asking about my PSU I used with the R9-270, it was this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...
Thank you so much, that was helpful

Yes, you should be fine with the 150W R9-270. I've been running one on a 35A (+12v) rail with no issues. Thanks for replying, If it's true I found my solution here
was that a 420 W psu ? which brand ? Do you think double rail cause a problem? I was thinking to buy GTX 750 Ti yesterday because some people said my psu can't reach more than 480 W. It's not a great card but performs better than R7 260x. The problem is 750Ti and R9 270 have almost same price in my country.MSI GTX750Ti TwinFrozr Gaming 189 $
Asus R9 270 DirectCU II 2GB GDDR5 256Bit 218 $
