It'll work but I prefer not OCing until getting a higher PSU.

The Corsair VS 450W output 34A at 12V and the R9 270X required 34A at 12V alone so that your PSU not enough

Other specs are just fine, but the psu recomended for 270x is 550w. It will work with a quality 450w, but yours is tier 3, so it's not so great, and will be a tight squeeze. You could go for it, probably it'll work just fine, but in the near future i would recomend you to get a better 550w psu(seasonic, evga, xfx os something like that)
