It depends on the model of PSU you have.

That is kind of a marginal PSU. It would work comfortably with one but two is pushing it

A CX750 although not the greatest power supply can run 2 - 970's.

I can always just buy a better psu. If I do buy a better one how many watts should I get?

1 - 980 , then you don't have to upgrade power supply.

You can easily handle a single 980. SLI 970's should be fine as long as you don't do any heavy overclocking with a lot of other peripherals connected.

But could I run 2 970's on that 750w

What would happen if I would try.

It could run them for awhile. At that load the poor quality capacitors the CX uses would just wear out even faster.

I wasn't going to try to over clock anything. I am just going to be gaming and doing school work

Will run fine with a system not being overclocked.
