Absolutively! i think as long as you have the right connectors, so how much is cheap?

I think you could actually.

My friend runs a PhenomII 920 and crossfired 3870s off that same PSU; so if the power draw for a GTX295 is only double a 3870 then you should be fine.

Well if your getting it for cheap might as well get it and try it. If it doenst work then buy another psu. Its a nice card don't pass up on a deal. But yours is a 600w its not too far off from what it says it needs, I don't see why it wouldn't work.
