Sorry, you're going to need a stronger PSU for SLI. I'd look for at least a 650W one from Seasonic, Antec, XFX or Corsair (TX, HX and AX series only).

Depends on the exact model, but you can usually check their website for that.

Do all of the plugs that you need look like this:

Or are some of them 8-pin?

So, you need 4 of those cables to run both of your cards?

If that's the case, I would recommend this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1650snlb...

No problem, the EVGA Supernova supplies are good; That should do nicely.
