Well considering your processor would only take 84Watts (full load) you could pretty much get a graphics card with up to a 300 watt TPD (which is insane) so you could get pretty much any graphics card minus a GTX690 or R9-295X2

It'd be fine for a 270.

I've ran a 4770k (non-OC) and a gtx 780 ti on a 450W gold sfx Silvertstone psu but I think I pretty much pushed it to the max because I had some issues when starting up. It would freeze for a min or so on the log in screen of windows and then be fine after that. It wasn't there with a G3258 so I think the 4770k pushed it to the edge of what it is able to handle. Considering that I don't think a r9 280 would work since it is has the same TDP as a 780ti. I would go for a gtx 970 if you have the cash or a r9 270. 

My personal rig - 4790k 4.8Ghz, Asus Z97 Pro (wi-fi ac), Corsair Dominator Plat 4x8GB, SLI GTX 1080 TI FE, Samsung 850 Evo 1TB, Crucial MX100 512GB, EVGA G3 1000W, and cooled by a hardline liquid cooling loop.
