if over clocking 2 PSU's is nice so you can have more stable power...my case has room for two but i only use one and overclock the snot out of everything....its really a matter of preference...you want at least 750watts with 2 cards and overclocking though i suggest going to 850 to account for capacitor wear which means your wattage and amps will slowly become less over time

rrrrrrrrrr.....technically yes though such a failure usually happens in the first 48 hours under full load which is true for all new hardware....if it doesn't after 48hours then won't happen for some time (3-5 years).
