The motherboard supports it yes. The power supply on the other hand may not. I've heard of people running sli 770 with only 750w but I believe that may be pushing the capabilities of the psu. To be safe I would get an 850w psu just so the psu isn't close to max output while gaming.

Answer is yes
And dont worry about the VRAM issue above...I had 2GB 670's in SLI on my 1440p display and never had an issue with needing more video memory. In my experience...that only arises with some high AA levels combined with texture mods. GL with SLI friend, its the best!

I'd stake my life on it.
LOL. Seriously, PSU calculators *shouldnt be open to wide degrees of variance. Now, there comes some flex if you dont account for an OC, a power hungry cooling set-up...etc. I ran your test with all the listed specs, and assuming you had 4 120mm fans. Shows you still have ~100 watts to spare. IMO, thats a healthy margin of safety...but if youre unconvinced, run your specs on several calculators and compare. Never hurts.
PS: If you really want the peace of mind, grab an 800w+ PSU. Anything by Seasonic, Corsair (AX is best), Rosewill, etc...is a good option. Im a Corsair Fanboy in full disclosure
