yea.. but your gonna pushing it. Most builders put alittle more juice just in case, 900 to 1000 watts, but you should be able to do it. Especially with the PSU brand you have.

Yeah that'll be fine, it's not like you're running 10 drives or anything, you'll be pushing it if you overclock the cards and CPU heavily though. You've got an awesome power supply there man

GTX280 is a 236w GPU. 5400BE is 65w. The PC Power & Cooling S75QB can do 60A/720W on 12v so you are fine based on what you have.

I wouldn't expect any sort of power problems in that scenario, no.

Will run fine

But honestly that 5400 is gonna bottleneck the hell out of 2x280's. I would upgrade the CPU before adding another card.
