Corsair VS series are considered lowest quality SMPS. So you have to go for Seasonic S12II 620 @ 5.4k in order to safely crossfire R9 270X...

Corsair CX600 @ 4600 is good.

Based on power requirements alone, I would say,its gonna be fine, according to total power requirements , its around 556 watts ( that too after I added a few extra components that you dont have)

But VS series is low end stuff, its always better if you upgrade

PS: Total Amperage Available on the +12V Rail(s) is the most important, followed by the +5V amperage and then the +3.3V amperage.

cx is not superior either especially with multi gpu set up.
@op, vs650 will handle two 270x in crossfire. however your cpu is much power hungry and if you plan on overclocking later, vs series may create problems. get seasonic s12ii 620 if possible. much much better than cx/vs series.

@op first of all why crossfire it's better to be with a single gpu because of the heat output and increased power consumption, a single 270x is fine for 1080p gaming
