This is my current computer and it runs games on low/medium setting and it is without graphic card and I would like to get my self new graphic card which will run games on high or extreme settings. I am playing on 1080p resolution. 

This is what I have but without the VIDEO CARD, I am considering to get the R9 270X from Gigabyte but I am not sure if its good enough and if it will run on my system. If you guys know any better and if possible cheaper video card can you please write it down. Thanks.

I have 500W power supply and that gpu needs 200W and I not sure If I have enough Watts. Can I check how much watts my system is running on? 

Don't worry, it'll hold just fine.

It's enough, don't worry.

your power supply is fine. however your cpu is a greater limiting factor. i'd get the r9 270 (no point in going with the 270x honestly) as that would be pretty much the best gpu your cpu will be able to feed in the widest variety of games. i have a system with an a10-7850k and an r9 270 and the gpu bottlenecks slightly in games like FFXIV, Theif, Total war etc.

My rig:
CPU: i5 4690k 24/7 @4.4ghz (1.165v) Max 4.7ghz (1.325v) COOLER: NZXT Kraken X61 MOBO: Asus Z97-A   RAM: 16GB Crucial Ballistix Tactical   GPU: EVGA GTX 970 SSC   PSU: EVGA GS 650W   CASE: NZXT Phantom 530 HDD: WD Caviar Blue 1TB + WD Black 2TB
