On www.slizone.com they don't list the 275 but for a pair of 260s, the lowest is 750w. For a pair of 280s it's a 1000w. If your PSU is on the certified list then you probably good. To use that much video power, you need a 28 to 32" monitor to take full advantage of the video power.

It's cheaper and less hassles using a single GTX295, which is the same thing as 2 275's.
