I have intel core i7 4770k at stock,600 watt corsair psu,8gb corsair vengence ram, msi z87-g43 motherboard and cooler master hyper n520 cpu cooler and my pc case is a NZXT Gardian 921 and as for gpu i have a xfx r9 270x. My question is will i have enough power to run crossfire with 2 r9 270x, 1 4gb and the one i have now at 2gb memory. Also everything is stock for now.
 
Solution
I wouldn't trust a 600w Corsair for two 270xs. I would be looking in the 650-750w range and at a high quality unit too. Some of Corsair's psus are good(AX, GS, HX, RM, TX series), and some are not.

I wouldn't risk that, if i were you.
Get a 750w 80+ bronze rated, as you are risking heavy amount of gpu's.
Power fluctuations and other paraments will be covered it.

yes you can xfire 270x

if you have the cx600 there are 46 amps on the 12 volt rail and the gs600 has 48.

though both have two 8 (6+2) pin pci-e connectors. you would need two 8 to dual 6 pin adapters. one for each card.

@ 120 - 130 watts the 270x is hardly a power hungry card. an OC'd 4770K system typically uses ~170 watts.
