Hello there, I currently have an EVGA GTX 260, and I am currently looking at another GTX 260, to sli. However, the second GTX 260, is made by BFG Tech.

Is it possible to SLI two of the same exact cards, but made by two different manufacturers?

Yes you can SLI different manufacturers cards.
Although if the GPU clocks are different, they will both run at the slower cards speed.
Sometimes, but very rarely you man need to update the cards bios.

From what I understand of how SLI works (sorry, I support the red team), as long as the chips on the card are the same, they can be run together. Differing speeds and memory sizes may cause both cards to run at the slower card's speeds and use the same amount of memory.

Now would you happen to be aware of the minimum wattage for the power supply, in order for it to handle the two cards? I currently have a 650 watt Corsair, does this seem like it should be powerful enough?

Thanks U.

A 650 watt power supply with a continuous output of 51 amps on the 12v is recommended.
If you have the TX 650 it has 54amp on the 12v rail.
