I would make these changes down below and then with the money saved pick up another gtx 275. If you can get your hands on a scythe mugen 2 or a xigmatek dark night for cheaper than that thermal right you can still obtain a decent over clock and save even more money.

Thanks mate, will the 750w be able to power 2 gtx 275s?

That Corsair 750w can power both of those cards with ease and still leave plenty of juice for a few more HD's, over clocking, fans, etc...and still have some left. The 275 doesn't eat up that much juice...even under load.
