No its not enough. A R9 270X Crossfire needs a quality 700W PSU with 36A or more on its +12V rail. You need a new PSU. Cheers!

Check the R9 200 series Crossfire & GTX 900/700 series SLI Power Consumption Chart below:

Hello,

Yes, your CX600M will work (it is rated at +12V/46 Amps), but only if it's new and you won't do any CPU/GPU overclocking. From the above graph, it will consume 407W at load with an i5 presumably, so with your FX-8350 will go close to 500W.
