You might not need to, but you should.
Depending on the card, 430W might be a bit underpowered.

It depends on your card. What card is it?

Regardless of your card, you'd need to replace it if you wanted to run SLI. It's not on nVidia's list of SLI certified power supplies, and it's a pretty comprehensive list.
