A 4gb 270X will run exactly the same as a 2GB unless the application or game you are running can make use of the extra VRAM.

The Crossfire 270's non-X would be better however that power supply you linked is out of stock and I would aim for for a 990FX motherboard for Crossfire.

That...

The extra 2GB will only help if the application can use it.

Xfire 270's will be a lot better than a single 4GB 270X.
