The 960 is a very low power consumption gpu so a 400w unit would be fine.

Make sure to get a decent quality unit though. Just because the 960 is a very efficient card, does not mean you should run it on a poor PSU. As you have a 270W unit, it's safe to assume it's horrific quality and should be upgraded asap.
