Well it'd be easier to tell if we knew what your CPU was

INTEL CORE I5 4670K | NVIDIA GTX 980 | NOCTUA NH-L9i | GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-SLI | KINGSTON 120GB V300

CM STORM QUICKFIRE TK | BENQ XL2420TE | ROCCAT SAVU | FRACTAL DEFINE R4

I know I'm pretty amazing, but I can't mindread. What is your CPU?

Guys he has a AMD Phenom x4 9600. 

 

That CPU will bottlneck a 270. It's a pretty ancient CPU.

 

It should be fine but a 260 would be better.

260x is what I though about getting

It's going to bottleneck, Get a GTX 750/R7 260 or better save for a total upgrade...

Yeah cant really afford a whole new upgrade..

That CPU is not even a Phenom II .... It's will be a serious bottleneck in many games and don't even think about online mutiplayer titles.

Is the same speed as Intel core duo 2 e8600 and the processor you have is nearly twice as slow as my processor. 

The Asus UX305 has an Almighty Intel core M-5Y10 0.8GHZ, GPU Intel HD 5300 Windforce, SDD 120GB, Passively Cooled, 1920x1080 Matte Screen, An Fantastic ICEpower Audio Making my House Shake and Having more ports then a MacBook btw this not an advertisement.

So the conclusion is, get a lesser GPU

The most common result of insufficient wattage is a paperweight that looks like a PC

I don't know if it's 2x slower than the E8600 C2D but it is slower in most tasks that do not use 4 cores.

No upgrade CPU and chipset. That CPU will make gaming a real pain not matter what GPU you are running.

He said he can't afford it - But your solution is the way to go

If he want's to play games decently which he does if he is wanting an R9 270 then he has no choice but to wait and save up for new MB and CPU then new GPU.

I said my processor(celeron e3200 dual core is crap and painfully slow e.g. opening couple chrome tab you start see it stutter and dirt 3 takes 5 years to load) is twice a slow as your processor.

I was replying to the C2D E8600 comment you made. Celeron, Sempron, Pentium ... they all suck and you Celeron is probably allot slower than 2x than my still old Phenom II x4 955.
